Title: DSG paddles extensions?
Post by: MWS1811 on June 26, 2017, 11:52:59 am

Anyone gone down the route of sticking on DSG paddle extensions?

There seem to be plenty of choice on ebay and the pics looks really good, but not sure how strong they will hold given they are only stuck on with 2 sided tape.

Anyone with experience of these?

Have put a deposit down on a 56 plate MK5 GTI with a DSG box :-D

I had plastic ones, they got annoying after a while as they were too big. They did stick on ok and were strong as they came with 3m sticky pads

Got the plastic ones in my car with carbon fibre inserts in the front, I prefer them over the standard stubby ones. The tape sticks exceptionally well too.

Thanks for the comments and pics fellas.

Not sure if that's the style i'd go for. I kinda like the smaller one's like on this pic.

Thats what I went for as well. They do the job - stick really, really well but part of me thinks I might just put it back to how it was. Rarely use the paddles...

I prefer the OSIR ones but they are a) too expensive and b) hard to get hold of
