Title: DSG Paddles
Post by: lm_gauci on October 25, 2012, 06:47:24 pm

The DSG paddles on my car have been replaced and are somewhat large. Has anyone got any links and pictures to where i can get a nice pair of replacements.

I currently have these fitted in silver

or some TID styling ones.. in carbon fibre but are around £150 from memory... Cant see the point of short stubby OSIR ones as they are very little above the stock paddles.

Or perhaps PM mandy as she has some paddle extenders going cheap , but they arent as good in Quality terms of finish.

The ones you have look decent. Why do you want to change them?

I like the quality of the ones i have just not keen on the size and the way they stand out. Maybe i'd prefer them a bit more if they were black.

I had the original paddles in the boot and can see how they are too small otherwise i'd look at getting the OSIR ones. I'm being fussy and want something in between, lol.

Doesn't look the nicest of jobs to d, i don't like playing with car airbags.

.
Black ones from Mandy would look fairly low-key but still give you the added functionality of being longer than OEM. They are also much cheaper than the TID's. You don't have to take anything apart to fit them either.
