Think they're fairly smart cheap mod, but wondering if they look stupid behind the wheel and feel just as bad?

Post by: Joshy on February 23, 2014, 02:49:18 pm: I think i've seen a few people using these :happy2:
I've also seen people use ones that actually replace the existing paddles instead of just clipping onto them.

Post by: vaheedakhtar on February 28, 2014, 09:14:20 am: I've got a set of these on mine. They've been spot on tbh. However, there is one issue: the sticky pads provided were a bit rubbish. The one's on the left were OK, but once the sun was out - the right hand one always came loose. I put some stronger, thinner pads on and they've been fine.

Post by: letlifeburn on February 28, 2014, 05:13:51 pm: Bit off topic. But I loved the paddles in one of the cars I drove. But the whole car itself was terrible. So now I've got one with no paddles. Is it as simple as getting a wheel with paddles and some vcds coding to retrofit hem or is there more?
