Exactly, each to their own. I agree, you need a foot rest........all I was saying is that the covering could have been conformal hence reducing the bump.
Jerry. Do you have your Grenadier as yet? I know you have driven your friends one but was it for long enough to sort of ‘forget’ about the foot rest?
I’m with you in that if there was a reasonably price mod’ I might try it. But there again, if messing with the ergonomics, would it end up being more uncomfortable. Will give you a better idea following my planned very long day in the driving seat.

Wires crossed I think. I don't have a friend with one. Had ours for nearly 10 days, and our longest journey was today hence my comment. Be interesting to see how you get on.

10 days in - I reckon if I had the carpeted version it would be more comfortable.

I opted for carpets but after some month's, Ineos took them off the options list for the SW. Will be looking to see if Ineos sell carpets at a reasonable price or if I should go to a local upholsterer.

I drove the PT02 three times in total. I never found a truly comfortable resting position for the RHD footwell. It was odd and remained odd at all times - I have never driven a vehicle with a footrest that sits approximately 90mm forward of the throttle pivot point... I am however hoping the car is too good and I can turn a blind eye to the footrest. Enough people have raised concerns including 8 or 9 of the UK test drivers... but here some short and some tall seem to find it is ok so that is positive for all of us! Then again, I can do 600-800kms a week easily and most people in the UK simply do not drive as much as us Aussies and long stints are far less frequent over in the little Island.
