hey today i bought my first car a 1.1 saxo i really like the car its certainly a bit quicker than the polo that i had been borrowing off a family member :) but i have a bit of a problem with the pedals because i am big and the pedals are quite small and squashed up:P. I was wondering whether there are any aftermarket pedals anyone could reccomend to give me a bit more leverage as my foot either hits the break and acclerator or the accelarator and the wheel arch and also could anyone gimme a brief description on how to go about changing these components.

cheers guys:)

Not exactly the answer your looking for but my advise is just get used to them, it doesn't take long to get used to them!

I have size 12 feet and have to drive with big steel toe cap boots on almost daily and I do not have a problem with it :)
