I got one way back, just can't remember if it was for the Rabbit or A2 GTI, 
and it
was white plastic type material.  It was a pita to put on, but never had 
any problems
after that.  Anyone seen one like this?  It had a small holes all around 
the outer edge,
I assuming to help in compressing to get it into the pedal.
