Dsg paddle shift extensions.
Fitting the paddle shift extensions over the weekend. Genuine LR aluminium ones were £400, silly money
Ended up purchasing a pair of lightweight aluminium, anodised, red ones. Quality is really good and smooth.
£30 odd, complete with 3m tape. A fraction of the price of the LR ones.
Not sure how they will look in contrast too the cream leather. Depends if the Mrs likes them or not, but no great loss as not spent a fortune on them if she decides too remove them.
Post photos on the weekend after fitting

That's the only colour they do. May have a go at spraying or plasti dipping them silver or black.

Looks like the jury is out on this one.
Wifes not keen on them. Too bright apparently and the wrong colour. Would not have been as bad if they were silver or dark blue too match the interior stitching she said, instead of being bright shocking red. Look big as well was another issue. They are meant too be extensions I said
(Typical woman, everything has too match)
Am sitting it out on the fence at the moment. I think they look ok but get will get used too them over time. Can't say they look good or bad if am honest.
However kids love them. as the local footy team is red and white. At least someone is happy

The LR ones are £400 and the wife has small hands, that's why lol:
Am not sure how big the LR ones are in comparison too these ones.
I have never use the paddle shift the few times I have used the car.
I gather your not a fan either then ??
Seems they might end up in the bin after all
Hindsight is a wonderful thing I suppose. Seemed a good idea at the time. -

A wife with small hands is always a bonus

Yes they are a bit bright but on the upside I only spent £30 on them, plus not hard too miss. Had i spent the full whack on them, I think she would have shot me. Now where's the spray paint when you need it -

Tbh I have far bigger hands than hers so maybe that's why they look small too me, but they probably are average. All depends on ones perspective I suppose. -

Looks like something from under an ejector seat
I reckon I’d be catching them if I were driving, look way too big, You could always yank them off if your ever under attack and use them Bat Man 🦇 Stylie against a would be attacker.

My brother had original ones on his D4 and said they would catch on his cuffs, so he took his off.
That settles it, they are coming off tomorrow.
Officer I was assaulted by a paddle shift extension. That would be a world first I bet -
