Rs pedals from ebay or ali express for ibiza 6f

[AndreasSweden]

Hi!
Newbie here.
Receiving my new car in a couple of days but already feel that i need to swap the pedals to something different so i’m checking if anyone’s tried out a set from ebay or Ali express.
Something like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...e4-4c1a-87f6-0b7ea7192811&transAbTest=ae803_3

Hi

Just a FYI, if you're interested, theres a guy here on the forum (Listers SEAT if i remember correctly), that sells seat parts at a good price. I got the armrest for my car, from him shipped from UK. If you're fast, you could pull it off before brexit.

I put pedals like that in my other car (it was a audi a1) and I did like it.

Jaco2k, If you make a installation video, please post link here!

 

[kanyewest]

[Jaco2k]

Jaco2k, If you make a installation video, please post link here!

I am going to install them today, but found a video already which is probably better than anything I will make:

Hi!
Just curious to know which pedals you went for since I had a hard time finding some that would fit. Thanks in advance!

Ordered these exact ones - still didn't offer them to the car (currently waiting at a McDonald's while my Cupra windshield gets replaced...) but I am pretty sure they will fit.

I just realized that you have a different car than I do. I've got the 2018 Ibiza but maybe they will fit anyway.

Nope, same car
...I am just gambling, because for 7€, why not.

I don't see a reason why the fitment would change from the old 6J to the new KJ, so I am quite hopeful these will fit.

 

[ayrshiredude]

Have to say the video doesn't make it look easy

 

[Jaco2k]

It was far from easy - that freaking brake pedal... I am still swearing here.

For some reason, the gas cap was already removed or was never there to start with, which made it easy to fit.

The brake... Was the second I attempted, but let's get back to it later...

Skipped to clutch, which also gave some fight, but managed to get it there.

Had to warm up quite a bit the rubber to make it slide and bend around pedals.

The original clutch cover has 2 small indents that are not in the replacement pedal.

As to the brake, there is a large indent/lock/nub right in the middle that was a PIA to remove but, as it turns out, easy compared to refitting.
I had to warm a lot the rubber and pull the knob from under with some pliers.
Also found out it helps to slide the bottom part in before.

The fit is 90% fine (or just Chinese 100%)
They move ever so slightly now but i think it is mostly because I warmed the rubber to fit them.
When it becomes more rigid it should be alright.
Pics will come when I get home, since I need to run some errands now.

 

[Jaco2k]

Ok, here we go then:

I went to test drive the car now after the pedals settled and can confirm they fit 100% except for that brake pedal, which fits, but it is a bitch to get into place.

They improve by a lot the driving experience on this car - before I thought the clutch was not so good, but it turns out it was my foot slipping on it when moving. I fully recommend buying and fitting this exact set.

Now, some pictures:

The original brake pedal (left) side by side with the replacement (right) - do notice that center rubber and how much more of it there is on the replacement pedal:

And the final product, which looks and feels great and makes a noticeable improvement to driving experience for the cost of peanut money and a lot of swearing:

I installed those in my mk5 and it really took maximum effort.. But it looks nice and the grip is good.. I did some slight rubber cutting of the side of the gas pedal to fit it..

 

[Jaco2k]

Found another video - these pedals actually seem like a better match.
I might try to find a set meant for a Leon Mk3 and see if those fit.
Anyway, I think he doesn't show the full thing, since the brake is a pain to pull and to install:

 

[Jaco2k]

I guess this set (or any similar one for the Leon Mk3 - AKA "5f") might be a better match than what I recommended before and actually installed.

I'd love to be able to fit the footrest aswell but is that even possible? Have you checked under the floor mat and found anywhere it would stick? I have the same set in my Audi a6 and it looks beautiful.
