Technical official fiat sports pedals
OMG we think alike. Thats exactly what i was thinking. But i am really happy with them. If it were me designing them i would have had less rows on the accelerator and had the setting screws top and bottom like the clutch and break.
If you look at the official pedal set all three pedals are screwed in diagonally. Which is just plain wrong
you can buy stick on 'feet' for electronic project cases that lok just like the rubber bits on the pedal - should be easy to match up and add a few more ..
EPoxy is good - if you are really struggling for a glue - put sdium bicarb powder on the rubber part - and superglue on the pedal - then bring together - they will be joined forever - bicarb is a catalyst for superglue - and a filler and is INCREDIBLY fixed once used - try it on something... if you ever need to join something with a slight gap, but bicarb in gap - then a few drops of superglue ..
yikes !! - its exothermic as well..https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=p...h=611#q=adhesive+rubber+feet&spell=1&tbm=isch
Not a surprise really, they are OEM...just Ford, not Fiat
.
I bet they are fiat pedalsNot a surprise really, they are OEM...just Ford, not Fiat
and that steering UJ looks fiat too...
are they not made on the same line ?? - I know the EyeTies threw their toys out and shifted half of poland back to be run by the Mafia - or something.... so that later cars can have italian fag ash dropped on the components while they work, instead of polish....
BL used to put things into engines - nuts, bolts, sandwiches etc during strikes - what will the eyeties put in your new pride and joy ? a horse's head perhaps ??
The KA, Panda, 500 and Ypsilon are all basically the same car underneath, as far as I know. I think the Ypsilon might be a Lancia elsewhere, but it's sold as a Chrysler in the UK, for some unknown reason. I think they were all built in the same factory in Poland, I'm not sure whose factory it is though; Fiats, Fords or some joint venture.I bet they are fiat pedals

I do really like the KA pedals though, I think I might have to buy some now I've seen them in someone's 100HP :devil:.
yeah, they moved the 500 production to italy last year I believe - to keep the Eye Ties in work...
I think the mk4 Panda is built in Italy too. I don't know where the Ka and Ypsilon are now built.

I need some of those, the look really good; tasteful, stylish and OEMMatt, here you go. This is how it looks when you first open the door
. You also know they'll be decent quality as they're a Ford OEM product, not some Chinese eBay special. I'm going to order some in the summer when I've got time to fit them. How long did they take to arrive, btw ?

Back in my younger days I may have made the effort to do this but remember the panda is my cheap runaround.
I'm perfectly happy with the final results. No more mods. For interior but I am still deciding whether to change the std speakers or not. And add the cd changer you posted. I have two sets of good 6.5 " speakers in my garage from my old accord type R
Matt. They took about 3 days. Postage was £7. But they were boxed very securely and sent royal mail first class and signed for. If you are definitely going to get then get them now. Maybe they are discounted to get rid of stock. Better to have them stored away ready to fit then having trouble locating a set later.

I've Just spend £32 on 4 wind deflectors
I just can't seem to justify the price of the door mouldings. Is it me or are Fiat parts stupidly expensive
Its you, everything in the UK is stupidly expensive - apart from flights outI've Just spend £32 on 4 wind deflectors

Also, the door trim price is around 130 for the set of four from fiat
Still cheap considering the price you paid for the car....
WInd deflectors will make it look like a whores handbag...
btw, what is on the seat in the pics,
looks like a bin liner. !!...:yum:

so it's not me. It's UK fiat being greedy buggers
Do you know how much I paid? Still cheaper then what late 2010 cars are being advertised on AT. Plus it's properly mint
. Buy on condition remember even if it's a cut and shut On the seat. It's a black sear cover. Cosmos hi back extra made for wide ass seats. I'm not that cheap.
although Mrs may disagree
Naw, its an Asda 'posh' bin liner... cheapskate...
Strong advice mate
; it's not like pedals are going to go out of date if I don't fit them immediately. I'll get some ordered when my student loan comes in at the end of the month, it won't miss £50 haha . Out of interest, were there any PITA things when fitting them?
Sorry I can't see any point in poshing up the place where your dirty feet rest, just my opinion.
It looks nice; nothing more, nothing less. I do see why someone might not want to spend money on it though, it's not exactly essential (then again, neither is the entire 100HP, a normal Panda would suffice in reality).

Gavv8 the same could be said about spending hours upon hours cleaning and detailing a car for it to get dirty again when it's driven
. Why wash it when it's gonna get dirty again btw I am one of those spends lots of time cleaning and polishing and detailing my cars. But I get great satisfaction out of it. Sad I know
