Was also very impressed with the brushed stainless finish so when I saw these I thought I quite fancy a do, but I think I'd be letting somebody else take the plunge first. The exchange rate is better at the mo.Having said all that I have to go stateside with work fairly regularly and might treat myself and avoid shipping and report back

Still, I'd have a set given to me!!

The TID styling ones, although stick on, are better for use during cornering as they are extended and you still keep the OEM + and - lights :happy2:

DomT had a quick feel at mine at the RR day(yes - I mean the paddles!!) and was impressed at how secure and stiff they were!! :grin:

Post by: Top Cat on June 09, 2009, 09:37:26 pm: If you open the link in the first post, can somone take a look at the pics and explain why they dont seem to match. The first pic look like they are covers the second and third pic look like different models and look like extensions with the little light continued as well.
I am confused. :rolleye:

I think they may be a bit more rigid.
Wouldn't mind a set but more important things to have first.

Recommend them to anyone considering them - worth while addition. Also has the benefit for show casing the paddle-shift a bit more :popcornsoda:
