   no its not easy atall you have to try and drill the pedals which is a bloody nightmare.
   
   Also no pedals apart from the citroen sport pedals will fit propperly due to the small pedal sizes, i fitted some sparco pedals to my 1.1 saxo when i had it and i kept hitting the gas when i hit the brake and visa versa.
   
   They will also fail on MOT unless they have suffient grip (trhink its 75% or more has to be rubber?)

   I have put some citroen sport pedals on mine.
   
   I couldnt drill them so i got my dad to do it, he did the brake & clutch pedal with ease, but he found the accelerator pedal a pain in the arse.
   
   Ive had no problems with hitting other pedals when driving & i even have big feet.

   i used to have pedals on and found them dangerous when your feet are wet so i took them off.

   yer this is the other issue, i had sparco ones on and after i got used to their closness, when it was raining it was soooo dodgy! my foot slipped off and got stuck in the carpet several times so i wasnt liking them either and they were about 75% rubber supposedly! (had little rubber dots all over them)
   
   
   they look nice but they are not practical what so ever.
