Paddle extenders?

[Matt2010]

So, picked up my PFL yesterday and its great fun and after an F80 M3, they are very different cars indeed!
I usually drive in manual mode on the paddles but finding the stock RS3 ones very small and don't stick out quite as much as I want so have to wrap my fingers round more.

Can anyone suggest a decent paddle extender in aluminium or black which fits nicely and looks good (the plainer the better).
I don't really want a proper replacement paddles yet where I have to start taking things apart

So far, really enjoying the car and glad I waited longer for the sports exhaust to be fitted.

hi there. I had exactly the same experience coming from an M4, the only thing I was disappointed with tbh.
See thread here:

I have the pinalloy extensions and while they are posisbly too big for some, I am still really pleased with them
cheers

Will do, should be here tomorrow.

So, got them fitted today but not had a change to drive car today. Don't match up obviously colourwise but then nothing I've seen will unless removing the stock levers.
Come in nice well packed box and look very good quality.

So what made you go from the M3 or M4 to Rs3? A lot of people would say that's a backward step.

 

[mangobay]

Lots of reasons really, fancied a change, wanted Sportback for bikes, fed up with putting winter tyres on every winter, but most of all....lack of sound drama in the M4! even with an aftermarket exhaust it wasnt right for me. GReat car otherwise though and i had it from new for 4 years which is the longest I ever kept a car.

although that was very easily done in my 2016 version if being hamfisted.....

She must have had traction control turned off. Can't believe it spun so badly if it was on.

Do these fit the FL shifters? The ones on my FL seem quite long at the back and can’t seem to find any on the net for a2018 onwards car.

 

[mangobay]

The pinalloy ones do. Not sure about these ones

 

[mattdsc]

Pinalloy's fitted. Little over kill, but love the look

Just ordered myself Leyo PD paddle shifters, in black. Will post a pic once fitted.

 

[Splathead]

I wonder if the aluminium paddles from the new RS6 will fit.....

The Taw Chicago replacement paddles are the only ones which don't look they're from a Chinese night market!
