Longer shift paddles for the DSG

[jon208]

I know this is a little premature, given that I haven't even bought the car yet but when I've seen DSG cars in the past I've always thought the paddles were a bit stumpy.

Reading through this site over the past few days I've been amazed by what can be modded or retrofitted. Is it possible to fit longer DSG levers to an Audi?

Thanks
Jon

there is a company that makes aftermarket carbon fibre ones that will fit - but they're like £500 or something silly. i'd imagine it'd be possible to make a set though, but i'm not the best person to ask about how to go around doing that

If i won a few million on the lotto i'd still think they were overpriced!

"Seen DSG cars in the past" ?

Please tell me you've actually driven a DSG equipped car before ordering one. They're a very personal thing and, whilst some people love them, just as many don't.

Indeed, it does look nice. Not too OTT like some.

Indeed I have, driven other VAG cars with a DSG box but not an A3 yet though. Presume the box is pretty similar across different cars. The paddles I've seen in A3s look smaler than Golfs etc.
