I want paddles

Can anyone point me in the right direction . Anyone know of any companies that fit paddles . I understand I will need a new steering wheel but what else ?

Thanks

Have you already got DSG? If so have you already got a MFSW with OEM Paddles?

If so you can get some OSIR ones and fit them yourself as it is really easy to do and takes about 10-15mins

TID styling is another option, if you have deeper pockets.

Ahh.

You would be better off keeping your eye out on eBay for a Wheel & airbag. Or even on here as they sometimes crop up. Then just get someone near by with VCDS & the know how to fit and code it for you. Either that or see if your dealer will.

Not on the early cars. Optional extra!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

If it's and early one you may need a steering controller as well.

In that case then a VW dealer but it will cost you prob twice as much than if you get the parts yourself and get the assistance of a friendly forum member to help fit if there is one near you/within sensible travelling distance

Ben at Shark Performance or any non-franchised dealer would be able to fit if you sourced the parts yourself.
