Just want to know our VF SV6 has standard Rubber on steel pedals for the Brake and Accelerator for Auto. What are the Factory ones that I think they were a combination of Stainless and Rubber used on Redlines or other in the VF range. Do they give you more Grip? If so Can they be fitted to the VF SV6 Storm and if the answer is yes, where can you get the Genuine from
Thanks

The ebay one says does not fit on a Sedan as it has Commodore Sports wagon only?. Hummmm.
The Original Part group ones are OK. Looked for I hour and found nothing and you found it in 2 Minutes. Must be getting Old.
Do you think they offer more grip or are they just cosmetic only

They're the same pedals for sedan and wagon. They do offer more grip..... and are better looking.

I had the sports pedals optioned on both our ‘16 SV6 ute & ‘17 SS Wagon without hesitation - expect they will wear far better over time also....considering both these are long term keepers.

Nah mate - I just took the metal/rubber part off the new pedal and clipped/glued it to the existing pedal. Be very careful taking the metal cover off - the tabs that hold the metal down are made of sh!t casting material and break if you bend them too much. Alternatively, chnage out the whole acclerator pedal if you are pedantic. It is just a variable resistor which is bolted and has a connector. Try the following link for help:

Arghhhh! the yank model. Everything back to front. At least I learnt how to remove the power Socket off the Pedal itself.
