The more I try to drive in manual cog swapping mode the more I realise the stock paddles are nowhere up to the job. They are far too small and too far away from the wheel. So looking around for an alternative which looks fairly OEM not like most of the MAX-POWER specials out there and not wanting to pay stupid money for MTM or Audi R8 parts I have found these.

I was thinking of the aluminium finish ones to match the Audi paddles Has anyone fitted this make of extension to give me some feedback if they are any good?

Haven't got those ones but do have carbon fibre ones that fix on to the OEM shifters. The MTM ones are made by a firm in Korea where I bought them from for around half the price but they were quite chunky. Went cf because they were lighter, slimmer but still sturdy and I can take them off if I ever sell.

For me they are a must and the tips of my fingers sit on them nicely rather than stretching to reach the OEM ones and gear changing when steering now is a doddle

Do you have a link or pictures of the type you have?

I've seen the Germantek ones if that is what you are talking about but too rich for my blood at £300.  image.jpg   25.57K   41 downloads

Think these aluminium look ABS ones look a fairly similar design to these CF ones so for @ £60 I think I will have a punt on them.

You need to be very careful which ones you go for. i was after some but they only fit S3/R32 ect. The shifters are different shapes and got caught out. Fortunately I saw and cancelled so I'd be very keen to find some that work for my small chubby fingers lol

Marshy, mine were custom made by Argon Creative who are local to me. They may still have the moulds available if you contact them to make more. There are some pics on here of them, just can't remember where! They don't look like the ones Duke3D has posted up and were about half the price.

[marshy]

I've sent them an email to see if they can make them and how much.
I've had a look but can't find any of your pics with them fitted️

Got these for mine, think they're the same.

 

Looks good imo and definitely improved the shifting which was the main goal.

Pretty good service from Relak considering I ordered them on Monday and they were shipped free of charge from California. They look pretty good quality for an ABS part, nice weight, feel solid, no rough edges, perfect fit on the original paddles.

5 minutes to fit

Now I just have to wait the recommended 72 hours to ensure they have bonded before using them! Oh well I will have fun on my drive home from work on Tuesday night.

They look brilliant, definitely look the part.

But much for me but I'm sure they're very functional.
