Well now I do.

With the main carpet, footrest and fuse cover out the only thing holding it is the trim round the kickdown switch (D2 facelift). That trim is held by three Torx T25 bolts beneath little covers that are easily lever out with the tip of a small screwdriver and the carpet section can then be wiggled out beneath the accelerator pedal.
The kickdown switch stays in place so the car is perfectly driveable, though I'd probably put the fuse cover back first.
