Steve, it looks like you had TID paddle extensions and you've replaced them with these by OSIR.

Did you find you didn't like the TID's? I'm wondering why.

:smiley:

SteveP:
^^ Yes I did have the TID Paddle extensions (Alu ones), which are now for sale  :wink: :laugh:

With the TID ones I found that they didn't work that well for me (for example you can't change gear using the very end of the extended paddle) and look too non-oem with the way they stick on to the existing paddles  :sick:

Plus with the TID paddles costing in the region of £180 compaired to the OSIR ones being £65, given the choice again I would have saved myself a big chunk of cash.

The OSIR ones are shaped on the back and are slightly larger than the stock ones so give the benefit of being more usable when pushing on, feel better to hold (even with saugage fingers like me) and look more OEM when fitted.  :happy2:

RedRobin:
^^^^
Fair enough Mr Steven Sausage-Fingers! :laugh:

The TID's don't look so aftermarket in black carbonfibre and you can't see how they are fitted anyway unless you've left tape hanging out.

I'd be very interested to have a feel of your OSIR paddles when we meet at The Ring.

The most important thing is that you're happier with them :happy2: 8) :happy2:
