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.
