These pedals come right from Audi with Audi part numbers on them.

Upon review, the call on the field is reversed 😄. Europrice’s pedals appear to be genuine Audi. Thinking of purchasing.

Did you also order the dead pedal, or just the brake and accelerator?

I think it won’t be that difficult. There appears to be a flange that hooks in place at the top end, and the left side of the foot rest seems to fit over/adjacent to the side panel—not under it. I looked at my car’s set up yesterday in the event I decide to purchase. Do you see the same logistics on your car?

Yes looks pretty easy. good thing it all on top. We will see if the clips line up with the new to old.

Maybe you can post a step by step pictorial guide when you do the install???

After finding this image of the D5 S8 dead pedal, well it seems there is a lip on the side that needs to fit under the car’s interior side panel. I went back to my car to revisit how it fits and it does appear to have the same side lip that fits underneath the panel. Oh well, perhaps that side panel with the hood release handle will need to be removed...Unless there’s a way to simply slide or hook/bend it in under the side panel. Here’s the S8 dead pedal (uninstalled)...
