URGENTLY REQUIRED

Post by Tom » 28 Nov 2004 06:06 pm

Hey, I'm in urgent need of a centre cap for my front wheel. I'm carting someone off to their wedding on Weds and I'd hate for the car to look shabby!

The cap should ideally be in a good, unscraped condition although I can live with the odd scratch here and there, long as it ain't too deep.

Any replies appreciated, thanks!

Why gas pedal is so far from brake pedal in that picture?

I ask because I can easily push brake and gas pedal with one foot, inner and outer part of my shoe. So heel&toe is very easy in my car, maybe it is modded ?

I think that's normal - just a strange angle for the photo. It's what mine looks like anyway!

Might be different for a LHD, as the clutch is still on the left? I'm not too sure, but the foot well would be smaller as the clutch would still need full travel, unlike an angled accelerator, which fits over the wheel housing bulge in the floor. This may then bunch the pedals together?
