Expensive but the quality looks good for those with money to burn.

Interesting but please note, Paddles fit the following models: Audi A3, A4, A6, A8, and Q7 2005+...
Without traction power is nothing!

....

Judging by those pics, these carbonfibre ones are much better quality and better value-for-money : -







Mine are very strong and I'm totally used to them now :happy2: 8) :happy2:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I agree with RR and Steve. The TID extensions are a much better design and also let you remove them if/when you sell on the car. :wink:

....Except that those sticky pads are so strong I wouldn't like to say how easily they can be removed without damage to VW's stock paddle.

Ugh, those linked ones are awful.
The TID ones are much better, both the carbon and the ally ones... but I wouldn't get them as I believe they're a major safety hazard (get into an accident, if the wheel starts to spin, those things could be dangerous if your hand was trapped).
I'm tempted every time I look at them though.

Stop giving me more ideas for things to spend money on  :xmaslaugh: :xmaslaugh:

I agree with RR, Phil & Hurdy the TID ones do look better.

But on the site TC linked the others from there was some nice stuff, like a Group Buy on LM reps for $780  :surprised:
