Have seen alloy pedals advertised.
Are these roadworthy for a Clubbie?
How would insurance companies look at them in the event of an inspection after an accident?
These pedals seem to be popping up on all sorts of vehicles these days.

mine are a factory option too.
im sure momo and sparco make items like the ones i have...but dont hold me to this.
i will add if my feet are wet just a ittle they do tend to slip of these even tho they have the little rubber dots...my foot has sliped off now and again when using the clutch..
can be a bit scary so now i dry my feet befour io take off anywhere.

As a factory option they may be legal but I would still check :wink: . Regardless of what company makes them, Sparco, Momo, or some no name brand if their not ADR approved they are still illegal.

I beleive that ADRs are not applicable to minis (maybe the rovers) and the law only relates to strength and non slip surface, dose not mean they have to have rubber on them :D

On another forum, I heard a cop gave a hard time and a ticket to a guy in Melbourne for having alloy pedals.

He was told he had to have them removed as they were not stock for that car. The thing is, the alloy pedals were stock for that car, so it was simply a matter of proving it.
