Oh ok, thats what I thought you asked:
First remove the brake pedal cover, it slips right off (the gas pedal doesnt have a cover. Next position the new pedal covers over the existing pedals and mark the holes with a pencil. Next use a metal drill bit and drill the holes. After attach the new pedals with the screws provided, and attach the washer and nut to the backside. Using a pair of pliers and a allen wrench tighten screws. Thats it

I've just fitted a set of these to my car, they look great.
Just a tip, the bolts they supply are smaller than the holes drilled into the ///M pedals, so i bought some 4mm rubber O rings that fit perfectly inside the holes and fill the gap around the bolts.

I got the dead pedal today and installed here is the final pic: 
I've been looking at this for my car, the only problem is my dead pedal is shaped with a tail piece at the bottom like on the accelerator pedal. So this item will not fit correctly. Is the USA version different? yours looks like it is straight from top to bottom?
My car is an October 2005 build, what build date is your car?

The factory dead pedal is oddly shaped. It's not straight from top to bottom. If you buy the authentic aluminum dead pedal from ACS or RD Sport, it'll be shaped to fit the factory dead pedal. However, the M aluminum dead pedals on eBay are not exact fit. They are not OEM parts. They're replicas of the ACS design but with the //M logo engraved. The dead pedal is about 3.5 inches wide by 11 inches long so when you mount it against the factory dead pedal, it doesn't cover the entire rubber surface underneath.

Yes, your right it doesnt cover the entire area, but if you install it centered and a little to the left like I did, it looks great. I think it looks better than the ACS or RD, because its more proportionate to the gas and brake pedals, oh and these are $55.00 shipped and the quality is top notch
