You can just put the pedals in rather than mucking around with the whole box, it's not a straight screw-on job, but check LG's thread, he put them on his, and they look awesome. I'm not sure what the consensus is on legality of cutting the pedals though, might want to look into that to prevent issues with insurance etc. Good luck though, it would be a worthy mod for sure.

Changing Pedal Box is not an easy job, upside down under the dash, 1000 things in the way
Hopefully you will never have to Just alter the pedals if you want to |

I put in the same pedals you guys are talking about, in my car. They were easy enough accerator takes some creativity, but i got over them because they always looked dirty, no one noticed them, they are not as grippy and again not as good as the factory ones. Thats my opinion anyway.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that you won't be needing to change the pedal box mate........

^^^That clutch pedal looks to be at a pretty unhealthy angle. I'd be looking for cracks or warpage in the pedal box if I were you.

I would have thought you couldn't put a BA pedal box in an AU anyway, because of the drive by wire accelerator pedal.
Do as the others have suggested and just fit the BA pedal pads.
