Oh yeah do remember hearing all them cases of peoples feet sliding off the pedals in their R32s and them crashing into walls. How did VW miss judge this in their research/design stage with such terrible consequences, its almost as if they didnt think about this when designing the pedals for one of their most successful hot hatch's.

lol But on a serious note dude, i think it will be fine. Mates got an R32 and we driven it in the winter with wet shoes on he didnt complain.

Dunno about yours but my OEM ones have rubber nobbles to stop your foot sliding off the pedal.

Yeah, isn't that what the rubber 'R' logo is for? :shrug:

I bought Dave R32 pedals for his Mk5 and used his car pretty much as a daily, and I never had any issues. I think the LCR pedals were maybe designed for non slip, but my feet still occasionally slip if it's wet.

Play nice lads lol

Any reason you got different pedals??? No one really notices them lol.

Plus there just as slippy as the LCR ones. In fact it's got the R on them hence cupra R, took me a sec there lol.

Stretch always make tyres look like they have smaller sidewalls, hence making wheel look smaller, but when on air, will be fine, please get fitment right, hate when people air it and just drop it, and rear wheel is in arch, and reverse raked!!!

Why some the best cars look best when time is spent getting it right (like hMd and Dele's mk4 golfs, perfect height and fitment IMO) :D

Keep it up man, you will get dumb comments on here, as its more "performance" based, than stance dude, way it goes I guess :)

Yeah i intend to spend a bit of time playing with the cars stance till im happy, TBH iv got all winter so iv got plenty of time to do what i want. Iv never really liked the arch on the tyre look that iv seen a fair bit of the lads with air doing at shows.

True that, its weird how its more or less same as golf/A3 but the majority of people with them go in a total different direction *stanced* but here its bwapp...POWER :cartman:

But i love it makes it way more fun, plus i like a little bit of speed every so often :whistle:

R32 Pedals fitted today and i went to wales to watch a rally [B)] good day
