Yes a friend who has had a Mk5 gti prepared by VW racing for the VW race series has had UP/Down shift buttons fitted on the wheel, the problem I have is when using the hand controls with my right hand I cant hit the up shift paddle unless the steering wheel is in the straight ahead position. I have fitted some paddle extensions recently and they help alot so I will problably stick with them.

Awesome car Neil , and you have the exact mods i want !!! :drool: I remember seeing your car in the Performance car tuner Shoot out !! 8)
i really admire the fact you use your car HARD ! !
Even with hand controls you probably quicker than any of us round the track ! :happy2:
If you want track wheels definatly go for the Speedline superturismo's i can see the BBS CH/CK being headache to keep clean/mint, i have the black edition CH's but they are a headache to keep clean !
PS did you just overtake the 996 RS !!!
also is that bird floating away cleaning your car !

Thanks for sharing, Neil :happy2:
VWR told me about your friend's car and how they arranged a formal demo of how he would succeed in getting out of his car in emergency because the race authority wouldn't believe he would do it in time at first.
With the Quaife, you'll find you can get back on the power earlier in the corner's exit. I guess you must already know that from the road.
