There are a few members on the forum that have CF ones - Red Robin has them I think.
Im pretty sure you can get em from the TT shop - but be warned, they aint cheap if you want the CF ones!!

You can get them from the TT shop...my missis bough mine for my birthday. At the time they were between £150 and £175 from what I can recall.

They are worth the money. They fall to hand much easier than the stock buttons paddles.

RR covers it all on the link Topher did. :smiley:

just spoke to them and they want 261 for them...which to be fair is a bit of a pisstake.

might have to resort to some lolly sticks and some bluetack.

Exchange rate has gone down the swannee!

They are made in east Asia and so the costs will have gone up.

I ordered the rear spoiler from the TT shop before Christmas and then it was £270....now it is £350!!!!

They told me £185 for the aluminium ones. Which is a bit steep in my eyes, especially when they are just stuck on. Surely after some abuse they'd be coming away from the originals?

Literallya bout 2 weeks ago, so unless the carbon ones are more expensive.

* They did say though that they had the aluminium ones (the ones I was enquiring about) in-stock. So whether they are chosing to sell these cheaper because they bought then before the euro went tits up????

The CF ones are more expensive than the aluminium ones.

If it's old stock, the aluminium ones will be the first version as the second revised version came out last October.

....No, they won't easily come away from the originals. Every time you use them you are pulling them towards you and against the originals, not away from.

How on earth do you give paddles abuse anyway? - How hard you press them doesn't influence their action - A light finger touch is just as effective as a heavy handed touch.

Btw, thankyou topher for posting that link :afro:

They never were cheap but they are extremely good quality and fit perfectly. Aluminium will get very cold in winter and very hot in summer.

And the aluminium ones will be cold to the touch too - not an issue during our three days of summer, but a bit frost-bite inducing for the rest of the year.
