   I require feedback from anyone who has fitted the Sparco pedal extensions to a Saxo, I've had a quick look and it looks like it'll be tricky to install the extension on the clutch pedal as space is limited, surely given the angle of the drill it will slip, can it be done with a standard drill? how long does it take? any tips gratefully received, cheers in advance

   ive done mine mate, snapped drill bits doing it, the way i did it was to put block of wood under the pedal and drill, the clutch and brake are the hardest but the accelarotor comes off, i marked the pedals using tip ex then used a dot punch so the drill wouldnt slip, ive got a pic somewere

   mine were a right pain. drill kept slippin' and because of the space and shape of the pedals could only get the bottom screws in for the clutch and brake. did them up really tight though and they are nice and solid. for the top screws i cut the heads off them and glued them on. bit of a bodge but effective nonetheless.
