Anyone know if these will fit a Mk7 Golf??
They are from an Audi S3

Anything is possible mate but they look a bit more substantial than your usual eBay stick ons
-
Old topic but wanted to resurrect as these are exactly the sort of DSG paddle I'm looking for. Anyone ever seen similar, want something more substantial than stock but not the big winged things out there.
Ideally I don't want stick on ones either.

I think they fit in a totally different way to have the Golf ones fit looking at these ones

Yeah that looks like the ones in the above pics by JB, didn't think they'd directly port over for a second, was just hoping there was something aftermarket that looks similar if you know what I mean....

They look reasonable Willni, still a bit more vertical but look reasonably unobtrusive and don't stand out as much as some of the larger and often metal ones. Got a link?
-
I fitted these and although a bit on the large size, the fact they are hollow does make them less intrusive. They also feel and look identical to the metal parts of the steering wheel. They were very cheap but don't feel cheap at all and are a good and easy fit.

I have them in black :smiley: The fit is very good, and easy to install

I also have them in black as I wanted them to be even less instrusive:

I found the fit to be great on one side, but a bit wobbly on the other side. Had to pad out the slot for the pin with tiny stripes of tape to make the fit comparable to the other side. I've just taken them off and put the stock ones back, and the stock ones have a much nicer click when using them. The metal ones were a bit more mushy. Also feel like the stock ones are narrower so sit more under your finger tips, which means they don't get in the way so much when you're not using them. Personally I don't mind the size of the stock ones so much, but the fact they're plastic really makes them stand out amongst the nice leather and metal on the wheel. I'm surprised all the aftermarket options are much bigger in size, and there's none I'm a big fan of visually. Those illuminated ones willni has are decent, but pricey...

I was surprised too, bit of a shame. I like the illuminated ones but they look a bit fiddly to install :-(

The selling is on holiday mode of his shop at the minute when he comes back I'll send you a link.
They aren't that dear you can get the parts for it and build yourself for £30 iirc, they really aren't intrusive tbh mostly because they match the originals very well.
