Seen these on Ali, I bought the same style from Ebay but they're £50 on there..... didn't check Ali :(

I went for the black ones

Wasn't really sure how would this frame-like design with pockets feel since I saw Racingline's release. I imagine fingers stucking at weird positions  :lipsrsealed: I went with that one instead (in black) mostly because another guy I know runs those in his R and is very happy (I am skeptical about most Ali knock-offs), currently awaiting delivery:

Now those are the first paddle extensions I would entertain, after seeing the ST2's. Be interested in how well they fit, and how they feel in use. They look cast, rather than machined, but that doesn't mean they won't fit well, if the accuracy is there. Hope they are as good as they look. Think they missed a trick with the plastic inlay, though. Red, to match the steering wheel stitching, might actually work!

I'll let everyone know once I take delivery of them and put them on the car.
