Have you got a picure of them?

I've been having a sniff about for some extra "length" and had pretty much decided on the A3 Sportback/Euro R32 Alu ones - light up and everything!

EDIT - link doesn't work, have a search on vagparts.com's online catalogue for item code 1J0498527

They look good, nice and tactile for changes too, so you're not "fishing" around for a paddle if the wheel isn't central.

I see you've got some OSIR stuff coming too, that guage pod they do is delicious...

I personally find no need for any extensions to the DSG paddles.  Just need to discipline yourself in holding the steering wheel in the correct place.

if you have DSG these are a must, fantastic quality, and will give "Hightened Pleasssssuurreeeeee" :wink:

Its like playing with a Playstation3 steering wheel, only this one is real!!, and you just wanna stick it in Sport or manual to start plippin that

exhaust!!. Im sure Hurdy will think the same. Alot better and look good.

They do look good. :cool: seem to match the texture of the steering wheel too. Not sure your Phylis badge is straight tho :huh:
