What is your pedal set?

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I am curious to know what people have gone with as a aftermarket pedal set for their mini? I was driving hard on the street the other day and when I went to do my heel toe pattern like I normally do, I noticed that foot totally missed the brake pedal because there is so much distance between the brake and gas pedal. Obviously this depends on the type of shoe and how wide the shoe is but I am curious what people have done to solve this problem.
Thanks

it's harder to do traditional type heel and toe on organ pedals.

i do the cheater style on my MCS which is to hold the brake with the
ball of my foot, but blip the throttle using my pinky toe instead of
the heel. i just use the factory MCS pedals.

on traditional pedals, i do both styles. cheater style for slow speeds,
traditional heel and toe for faster speeds.

Those are the ultimate pedal and they make it for most of the exotic european cars. My sets is a mix from Mini and ferrarri and was engraved ESM for Eastsidemini. I can do a group buy if there's enough interest.

www.ultimatepedals.com for info.

No we do not . I got these thru Wheelpower in Orange county. If you do a google search for Hamman they will come up as the US distributor.

Those pedals are made for the mini by ultimatepedal. Nice But my brake/clutch pedals are from ferrari 348. I think the mini one is too small for my feet. And it also has my personal name engraved on the brake pedal That you will not get from any other company PRICELESS.

PERSONAL ENGRAVING ! Now that is a nice touch. Good looking pedal set as well.

Has anyone successfully installed the "universal fit" style of accelerator pedal? I ordered some MOMO pedals and am now worried that because of the shape of the MINI's gas pedal the replacement pedal won't fit. I don't want to attempt to install it without being sure, since the company won't take it back once out of the box.
Thanks!
Dave

To answer my own question...

In case anyone else runs into this problem, the answer to the question of whether universal fit pedals work on the MINI is "sort of". The brake and clutch pedals fit well, although the drill points are not very convenient (they go through a portion of the pedal "stem" on the clutch...a little manuevering of the bold to hold the new pedal to the pad will work).

The accelerator pedal is a different animal. The universal fit will not work here. I ended up ordering a separate toe-heel gas pedal from a MINI specific vendor and painted it to match the finish of the aftermarket clutch/brake pedals. It works, but cost me more in the long run.

My advice would be to talk to a sales rep rather than ordering online, even from a site that says they specialize in MINI aftermarket parts.
