The guys at Awesome GTI got back to me and just said to return them. Ah well, I would have thought the paddles were all generic throughout all model ranges to save costs. Would seem not anyway. I really don’t want to go down the stick on route to be honest.

Thread revival (again...)

 

Wondering if anyone has found paddle extensions that successfully fit the 8V Facelift..

 

Everywhere I seem to find are for the 8P or pre facelift 8V's..

Are the paddles actually any different between pre and FL?

Yeah I think Mark above ordered a set from Awesome GTI and they wouldn't clip in place on the FL paddles.

 

I've checked a few suppliers and keep getting the same image showing the FL RS3 paddle not being suitable for any of what they're offering.

Had a look at your thread mate.

 

I like the paddles you have, if they are still the big red paddles fitted, but it seems to me like they won't fit the MY17 Facelift models.

 

There seems to be a reduction of chrome on the tip of it which means those paddles won't fit. Please do correct me if i'm wrong though as you'll know better than me.

From the pics above it looks like the FL might have slightly different paddles to the PFL.

Perhaps someone can post a nice clear picture of FL oem paddles from an RS3?

Ah cheers Tippytoes,

 

Just noticed they have 3 templates for them. Type 3 seems to be the correct fit. Incoming new paddles en route!
