What have you bought for your Mk8?

I'd say they'd still work. The ledge is pretty shallow.

Only one way to know for sure....

What do we think of these paddle extensions as a cheap alternative to the R ones? £52.

They are certainly some of the best ‘fakes’ I’ve seen and at first glance I thought they were OEM. So many of the tuner paddles look completely out of place with the massive, sharp aluminium (which I wouldn’t fancy head-butting in the event of a crash…)

Will be a while if I wait for my Edition 45, no confirmed build week yet! I may have to find another Mk8 to test them on....

Yeah I’m not a fan of most of the non OEM paddles.
Those ones aren’t the worst I’ve seen but I just don’t like that they clip onto the existing paddles. Looks a bit naff imo.
For the sake of another 50 quid… on a 40k car, get the genuine R paddles imo.

I was thinking of getting the R ones, it’s a shame racingline haven’t produced any properly fitted ones yet (if at all). 

I think those look ok, but I’m not a fan of the stick or screw on extensions.

I think I agree that the genuine R ones are better. Think it’s the fact that they’re proper paddles rather than an extension that I like.

Spotted these this AM, I'm the sort that much prefers an OEM+ modification, has anyone had any experience in retro fitting them to your Mk8 steering wheel?

They’re here for quite a bit cheaper - https://www.cars-equipment.com/en/shop/switches-buttons-trims/oem-5h0951527-5h0951528-sport-dsg-paddles/. That’s where I got mine. I have fitted them to my CS. I had a post on it in this thread few pages back.
