I fitted the black version of Watts paddles. Driven the car a couple of times, and they work really well. I was a little concerned at the angle of the upper parts, but they line up nicely with your finger ends when your hands are in a normal driving position. I’ve been trying to post a photo of mine above, but having trouble with imagur!

How long did yours take to arrive?  If from China, I'm expecting about 2 weeks.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

That one is sent from the UK. Took less than a week.

I've just bought the black ones Matt 👍

So have I. Worst case I'll pass to my Dad if I prefer the ST2s.

Have you got your dashcam out in preparation for your TCR yet Chris? Only refitted the wife's earlier this week, 51 weeks after we took delivery of her car!

I think some of the Hong Kong based companies have stock stored over here as often I have brought bits in this scenario.
Does it save them paying uk business tax ?

I think mine did too. I've just been out in the car and had a wee go with the paddles. They do feel good and fit really well, no slack in them over the oem ones. If you are giving the car a bit of a thrash then perhaps manual mode is better, not much chance of that around here. I can't say my opinion has changed much, paddles are still a bit average. I'll keep having a go in case they grow on me. These replacement ones though do look good though.
