[W126 Coupe] Dead Pedal

[Axel Wulff]

My dead pedal was cracked and I replaced it with a new one. I forget the 
cost, but new ones are only available with black plastic.

I have the gray interior so my piece came with the carpet part the correct 
gray color and I had to paint the plastic gray to match the rest of the 
interior.

I also added a dead pedal aluminium cover from Ultimate Pedals 
(ultimatepedals.com) to prevent the new dead pedal from cracking and rubbing 
off the gray paint.

If you decide to repair your old one, adding the dead pedal from Ultimate 
Pedals should help keeping it from cracking again.
