Heel Toe Action, are bigger pedals available?

Hey guys is anyone finding this car easy to heel-toe?

Or has anyone installed bigger pedals, or moved them closer to each other?

Maybe I'm spoiled with my other car being an e36 m3 track car, which is SUPER easy to heel-toe, but it's been 'challenging' so far with the Vantage.

It's not just the pedals I feel. It's also the weird clutch engagement.

Is anyone having the same first world problems I'm going through right now?

Original owner of my car had the same complaint, so he had a custom pedal made. I can't heel-toe worth a damn so I can't comment on the improvement or difference from the original pedal.

It's the throttle response as well. I have a wider accelerator pedal and only get it right half the time. I am much better in my other MT cars.
