It’s a big difference in how they feel compared to the Golf R as on the R the steering wheel is larger so you literally have to look for them. On the S3 they are easily reachable (although they are smaller).
What about changing them for RS gear paddles? Maybe the dealer could do that easily.

There are quite a few little things I’d like to change on my car but Audi prices are stupid.
For example at a basic level I want silver mirrors but they are stupid prices; even 3rd party are £299. Audi is closer to £600.
I’d love the RS3 wheel - love that alcantara. I don’t know if Audi would be happy to change a wheel and not mess up the warranty but that would probably cost at least £1k. And how about some RS3 air vents? A good minimum of £500.
I’m tempted to go to a dealer and just pop out some RS3 vents and swap them with mine lol

Audi seem to be the kings of overpricing options and under speccing cars as standard...

I fancy some extensions too but all of these are too big and in your face. I want the ones off the RS3 but they don't fit apparently. The new RS3 range ones should though but probably silly money.
I bought the A4 ones previously linked. Wasn't. much around at the time, so still keeping my eye out for another set.
Have you got a link? Will these fit the FL S3?

They're fitted on the FL S3 hence Virtual Cockpit and smaller airbag module.
Not got mine yet mate so I'm not completely familiar with what it looks like

Yes, that is my S3 facelift in the pic....
The buyer I used doesn't sell them anymore. They are the same, I think, as the ebay link earlier in the thread.

Yes they do black, carbon, chrome, brushed ally & dark ally.
On eBay just search "2017 Audi S3 paddle shift extensions"
did someone say............carbon..
it would end up being a slippery slope of wanting more carbon on the interior though!
just saw the blue ones they sell.....ara blue......blue extenders with the blue air vent rings? maybe a little over the top idk?

Tell me about it, I found prices for the carbon interior trim, worked out over £1000 for it! Be cheaper to get it skinned and would look just as good!
Do we have more info on why they do not fit? I believe the wheels are the same no? I was going to look into ordering a set.
Sorry I was referring to the old RS wheel. I'd imagine the new gen RS will fit straight on again.
think i've found the ones?

shipping from the states is a massive ballache but they look spot on to me? type T for FL S3

Just digging up this old thread, did you ever receive your paddle extensions and if so what do you think?Just ordered a set in RED
I’m debating ordering a set for myself
These paddle shift extensions seem like they're for the guys who put the car in dynamic mode and then sit in traffic for 45 minutes before fleetingly stabbing the accelerator from one end of the car park to the other at the end of their journey.

Personally don’t mind the winn auto sports ones (out of all the aftermarket ones), they’re not amazing but would probably look alright in black trim but $100 a lot for them.Sorry but these look horrendous
Personally it’s more of an aesthetic thing for me I just think the plain plastic paddles look a bit cheap and nasty, would prefer some RS3 looking ones (metal trim a the top) think the PFL S3’s also has them, but understand they’re not simply plug and play.
