Did anyone get around to checking these out any further?

Are they compatible with the MK7 Golf?

Has anyone fitted them... or tried to?

Quite like these but don't want to dish out on them if they ain't gona work

JB GTI and I looked at these some time back and concluded that they wouldn't fit the Mk7.  Was disappointed at first but then started looking properly at the S2T paddles which I wasn't initially keen on. Well I'm glad I gave them a second look because I took the plunge and bought some (not cheap, but got them on a group buy on another forum, so a bit of a saving) and absolutely LOVE them.  They look very oem and are really lovely to use, plus lots of choices of style and finish.  I went for B3's in Polished black. http://www.s2tpp.com/VW.html

And a doddle to fit. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=276214.0

This is a good pic for showing the differences in the 3 styles.

Thanks for this - shame they won't fit  :sad:

Yeah, I like the look of those S2T paddles but can't really justify the expense. With VAT & Customs Duty it would work out at around £246 for them  :shocked:

They do look sweet though  :cool:

I have these, they are fitted over the existing paddles and held in place with 3 small grub screws - work well and a good price

Go to the top of the screen and select UKP for the price and to pay in pounds.
