I like them,often thought myself the oem were too small.Can never have enough to grab hold of!!.
DSG paddle extensions
One of the few things that I don't like about the MkV are the OEM paddles - I think they're too small and having driven a friends M3CSL a few weekends ago I really felt the advantage of having longer paddles.
So on Tuesday last week I ordered a set of carbon fibre extensions from TID Styling in South Korea. They arrived this morning and I fitted them at lunchtime (click the image for a larger version):
They're just stuck on to the OEM paddles using (supplied) double sided tape but they feel very firmly attached.
From a quick drive I really like them. I keep finding myself using the paddles in the way I did when these extensions were not fitted - use my index finger int eh groove on the back of the paddle but I'll soon get used to having longer paddles. From a brief spirited drive it was really good to have the longer paddle so that I could have a fair amount of steering lock on and then grab a paddle without and problems.
These obviously aren't going to be everyones taste, but personally I think they look good and I really appreciate the benefit when driving.

wonderful, great choice !!! :flowers:
exactly what i was looking for. Thanks for link.
Just a question:
the lower section of the new attached paddles works pulling the paddles towards the body of the driver or works pushing or does not work at all ??
In my opinion there were 2 issue on out DSG driven R32.
1st the poor dimension of the paddles
2nd the diameter of the steerign wheel. I think that if the steering wheel was 1 inch less the feeling would be much better.
Does someone knows if someone in the world
cguru: produce a smaller steering wheel?
