Cheers mate. Now my next question is.... Has anyone installed the flappy paddle paddle extensions that I have seen for sale on eBay? I don't mean them ones particularly but of the same kind

I believe quite a few people have, if you look in the 'Traders sales' section @Mandy sells them

Yep I have. mine were from Mandy on the forum, give it a search and you should be able to find what she has for sale. Feels much nicer with them in place, I would suggest the aluminium ones rather than the plastic   :smiley:

If they don't have the flappy paddle, how does the semi auto work? Knock the gear stick left and right?

Gearstick moves over to the left and then it is spring loaded to go forward (gear up) and backwards (gear down)

I've got the plastic ones that @Mandy sells. They're great, as was the service. However, I'd probably go for the aluminium ones if I bought them today.

Easiest way would be to fit a DSG multi function steering wheel as it'll have the paddles fitted already, that's assuming that your car is an early one without paddles?
The paddle extensions however are a 5 minute job to fit over the standard ones  :happy2:

I had the plastic one's in the Golf and they were brilliant!!!

I fitted the Aluminium ones in the CC this week and on the way back from AKS this afternoon, one of them fell off!  :sad1: .....I wonder if the ally one's are a little too heavy for the sticky pads?!
They're are a great idea though so I might start looking for something a little more permanent!

These (S2T) paddles are beautiful to look at and use. Billet milled, quite rude.  :love:
