Post by: matsu on May 23, 2011, 02:08:46 pm: ok some "in focus pictures now fitted.
i have to say these make the paddles soooo much fun to drive with. they are chunky enough to feel proppa!!
and the actual touch to change up or down is sensitive that it still only needs a nudge!
i personally like the brushed ali look. i think its quite oem and goes with the trim inside the car.
highly recommended and almost half the price of some of the alternative options.

Post by: Megy_ED30 on May 23, 2011, 03:45:47 pm: I love the looks of these too. Wonder if I am able to justify a set of these with my Missus, i have only just got a set of carbon fibre ones which I love, but these look soooooo cooooooool.

Post by: alexperkins on May 23, 2011, 03:48:43 pm: Theres never a need to justify with the Mrs :signLOL:

I think these look more OEM if im honest (and i like the OEM look)

I notice that there's very little paddle on the lower extensions - I know that the uppers are most frequently used but do those lower parts work okay?

What's the black material? Rubber or plastic?

Paddle extensions make a huge difference don't they :happy2:

Post by: matsu on May 23, 2011, 08:10:38 pm: hi RR
yes the lowers do work the shift nicely enough!
but i hardly ever use that part if i,m honest.....but yep paddle shift is so much more enjoyable to use and i used to fairly lazy,now i find i,m manually shifting so much more hahaha
and they are sturdy plastic!-very tactile to use!!

Thats one thing i have wondered about. When corning one of your hands is often on the 7 or 4 o'clock position. :popcornsoda:

Post by: Saint Steve on May 23, 2011, 08:33:22 pm: I drive 24/7 in manual mode using paddles.

Except in traffic jams when my arthritic legs get a rest.... :popcornsoda:

....I try to avoid changing gear while in a corner but have never had a problem with paddle extensions. Your brain soon automatically programs where to place your fingers. *Cough* Hey, Imogen, come over here.

Post by: psw mk5 on May 24, 2011, 03:41:50 pm: Might be a blonde moment but..... Do these just fit over the existing paddles or do you have to take the OEM ones off cheers in advance
Title: Re: ickle new mod-fitted pics added
Post by: matsu on May 24, 2011, 03:49:17 pm: fit right on top with supplied shaped 3M tape buddy :happy2:

Post by: big al on May 24, 2011, 05:23:31 pm: Look nice. Though think that they would look better if there was more chrome on the steering wheel like on the MK6 multi function ones. :happy2:
