One of the things I wanted but didn't get when I bought my GTS was Ali pedals.
After a bit of research I started a conversation with Ultimate Pedals https://www.ultimatepedals.com/
They offer a choice of finishes with and without logo of your choice.
After much umming and arring I decided on the following
Fitting was much easier than anticipated. I've included the fitting instructions as a PDF. But in a nutshell and with what I learnt
Brake Pedal
Dead Pedal
The instructions warn about drilling blind but imho in generic terms as the described metal plate did not tally with what I found.
I removed the carpet trim. to make sure of what I was trying to drill into
Which upon removal revealed this
Google suggest its a steering control module, but either way I guessed it would work better if I didn't drill holes in it!
The old rubber cover is held on by a number of rubber pips that push into holes in the carpet, it just pulls off.
The new Ali pedal lines up perfectly with where the rubber one was. I decided I'd rather not drill into the metal section if I could avoid it and in any case its not flat so thats making life more difficult than it needed to be.
My solution was to clamp the new Ali pedal on the front of the carpet, the rubber to the rear and then use the supplied Phillips head countersink self tappers to hold the whole thing together. I then dremelled off the protruding screws to leave a flat finish as below;
This worked well and the carpet fit back into place perfectly with the 3 screws described earlier.
Throttle Pedal
My stock pedal is plastic so this was really easy to fit. Having checked the fit (spot on the Ali pedal is an exact size match) I simply used a little Gorilla tape to hold it in place, drilled 4 holes and used the supplied 4 x Phillips countersink self-tappers to attach.
The electronics for the throttle pedal are at the bottom so I avoided placing the screws too low down.
Overall an moderately easy job. and I'm very happy with the end result below.

After much umming and arring I decided on the following
- Deluxe set
- Embossed Trident on all pedals
- Anti slip finish
- Shiny with Frosted embossing
- Their standard (wider than standard) 4.56” brake pedal

Brake Pedal
- The rubber OEM pedal cover just pulls off, I'm not sure if all look like this or whether a previous owner has at one point had a different pedal fitted. However 4 holes already existed in the perfect spot for the new pedal.
- A very easy job to attach using the supplied 4 x Nylocks, washers and Phillips head countersink bolts
Dead Pedal
The instructions warn about drilling blind but imho in generic terms as the described metal plate did not tally with what I found.
I removed the carpet trim. to make sure of what I was trying to drill into
- Remove 1 x Allen head bolt under a cap on the centre tunnel
- Remove 2 x Phillips head screws on the inner face of the dead pedal
