So finally LR caught on to the need for something to put over the carpet...

Looks good, you need to drill 3 holes with a depth limiter of 15mm. I wonder what's behind there to get wiped out if you go further?

I fitted a aftermarket set & had to drill the holes for the bolts, once the rubber paddle boot is removed the metal paddle is only about 5mm. The depth limiter of 15mm could be to stop you from hitting the carpet when drilling with the paddle fully pressed down.

LHD version only?

Jai, that was my first thought but if you look carefully the position of the RHD one is against the bulge for the transmission which almost matches the wheel arch of the LHD cars
RE: Footrest Finisher - New LR Accessory VPLVS0178 - chiggy - 23-08-2012 09:35am
the LHD cars have a slightly bigger area on the left side as that side is technically against the outside of the car rather than the closer to the engine/centre consol.
Also it's a bit weird that LR haven't released that document with RHD pictures given the majority of cars they produce are RHD and LR themselves are "English".

VPLVS0177 is the RHD version. See Topix for details.

If you are drilling the footrest area are you not drilling the floorpan. I would have thought that you will end up with a footwell full of water the next time it rains

Can someone post the "topix" pics and info here, because I can't seem to view anything other than the border on the link.
Very timely - as I was just wondering why this wasn't covered by a pedal or a mat from LR at the factory.
Would love to see what this looks like.
