I don't know if drilling into the pedals is a critical one, but find out before you do it.
In the UK the MOT test is fairly basic and I don't think modified foot pedals would compromise the integrity of the pedal if, say, 4 holes were drilled and tapped M4. You could then attach the pedal covers with countersunk hex socket screws in stainless steel or black would look good.

The real think to look out for is the insurance company, as nowadays they are looking for ANY reason to refuse or reduce payout in the event of a claim. Young drivers seem to be unaware of this.

I am in my seventies now and have reverted to a standard off the production line car, but thirty years ago I had a heavily modified Audi 80 Sport and paid the inflated premiums because of it. The same with a couple of subsequent cars.

Nowadays, I wouldn't be able to afford the premium for a modified car and TBH I am just getting to be a grumpy old fart anyway.

Harrumph,
