Nice - not as nice as RedRobin's carbon ones but nice nevertheless!! :)


Still enjoying the Audi?

I like the BMW 3 series SSG paddles. You can pull to upshift and push to downshift using either paddle.

Of the Vivid racing Audi paddles the natural anodised finish looks good... :smiley:

Those Audi ones won't fit the Mk5 GTI, Martin.

I really don't like those Pull/Push BMW ones :sick: - Very unnatural, unintuitive and confusing, methinks.

Ok, ok , MR BIG POWER  :cool: :wink:
They are  a good set of paddles. When the wheel is past 180 Degs, e.g. when your arms would be crossed, you still know that if you push/pull you will change gear. Not like the GTI where it can get a bit awkward in those situations.
