Title: DSG paddle extension
Post by: weston on 18 July 2010, 18:42: Who has successfully replaced their tiny paddles with some of a more sensible size and for a reasonable price i.e. <£100.

Post by: Hurdy on 18 July 2010, 23:57: Aren't they more than £100 though?

Most paddle extensions are around the £150 mark including the TID styling ones

Post by: Davstylee on 19 July 2010, 10:12: The OSIR ones look good. I take it they replace the factory ones fully, and they are not just a stick on cover? If this is true how hard is it to replace the paddle sh!ts with the OSIR ones. The rubber effect cover on my paddles is starting to split and peel away so I wouldnâ€™t mind replacing them.
