I have the aluminium version that I bought off of eBay, took a few weeks to arrive but are good quality and fit nicely on the steering wheel.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steering-Wheel-DSG-Paddle-Extension-For-VW-Golf-JETTA-GTI-R-MK5-MK6-SCIROCCO-EOS-/171479279915?

what about the material? does it feel solid and sturdy and easier to use the paddle shift?

It feels well made, no burrs on the aluminium and once stuck to the existing paddle it feels nice  and strong (we drove to Cornwall and back in September from Kent and had no issues). 
I have found the extended length allows easier shifting with your hands positioned higher or lower on the steering wheel.
Do you have pics that you can share mate?

I have these:

http://www.doubleapex.co/collections/mkv-golf-gti-rabbit/products/vw-dsg-paddle-shifters

they are spot on - a bit pricey and a faff to fit because they replace the existing plastic rather than just sticking on but they are great in terms of look and quality.
