"Bigger" DSG/S-tronic Shift paddles (pic heavy)

[A3SBQ]

Hi.
Did anyone try this bigger race shift paddles for DSG cars?
I have been thinking of bigger paddles after seeing a Porsche with PDK.
Will it be inn the way of the whipper, light and cruse stacks?
What do you guys think of it for the track day?

I think they look ok, I would go for the black if I had a DSG.

They would look okay on a FB, but on the 4 spoke, looks terrible.

 

[A3SBQ]

Yes. I agree on the 4-spoke point.
Anyone tested these?

 

[shariain]

Like the black ones but @$225 I think I will keep it oem.

I was interested until i saw the price!!

I had some chrome ones on my M3 which looked alot better and were cheaper than those two.

 

[A3SBQ]

Is there any other alternatives out there?
I agree on the high price, but if this is the only option then il take it

Something similar from ebay in carbon but doesn't have the lower arm bit of the paddle. They are attached with 3M sticky pads though....

Oh, £25 so worth a punt if you like paddle extensions.

 

[A3SBQ]

Thanks. Not bad and cheaper.
But it is for VW! Are the paddles the same?

Alternative wise there is TID STYLING - GERMAN CAR BODY KIT DESIGN - EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PARTS - AUDI-VW
they offer several, including led and carbon fibre etc.....

Ive been thinking about these myself, but I'm just not sure........

Would these actually fit and A3/S3 paddle?

 

[A3SBQ]

I think a disadvantage would maybe be that it is not possible to grip the wheel completely at the shifters aeria.
This is not good.

What do you thinks?

Errrrr.......... Good question! In the picture the paddles that they've attached them to look a lot like mine do. Will need to confirm by checking a dsg golf though I would imagine they probably are the same.

Contacted the seller earlier and, in his broken "Engrish", informed me that they won't fit our cars, BUT that they are currently in the process of making one for Audi's. No ETA on when they'll be ready though.

Audi TT Coupe and Audi TT Roadster Parts, Accessories, Styling and Performance Tuning stock them , or can order the ones I posted earlier in....

Looks like an entire custom wheel, not just the paddles

 

[Ash187]

yes you are right, that is for the whole wheel. but it shows that the paddles are available for our style wheels

 

[~RS~]

That wheel is EPIC! If I had an RS3 that would be my first mod, love the paddles.... Batman would be proud of that!

 

[Ash187]

For your perving pleasure!!

 

[A3SBQ]

Dos this mean that Audi is producing the paddle,
and we can by the paddles seperetly?
If so this would be my first choice.
I got a reply from s2tpp and they are out of stock

 

[Acheron]

yes you are right, that is for the whole wheel. but it shows that the paddles are available for our style wheels

Now if only we could get these R8Carbon guys to sell them seperately we'd be in business!

Had a chat over email with the seller. They can indeed supply the paddles separately...

...for 368 Euros ex shipping
