Hi, has anyone out there replaced their paddle shifts with these from ECS. They are a full replacement rather than a stick on, which personally I am not keen on.

Theyre not full replacements per se, you still have to use your paddles to use these.

Personally i think they look like Batman's ears, bit to obvious tbh.

They do make using the paddles a tad easier to use and more visible

The newer wheels taller paddles are nice to use tbh.

I have them on my RS5 style wheel.

Yes, not 100% sold on the looks but the OEM paddles are, in my view, are an ergonomic miss and very unusual for Audi. Any other options any members have tried and actually like?
