GTI DSG Paddle Shifters - Upgrade Replacements
« on: 29 April 2016, 12:35 »
Hi guys,

Last Xmas I put some stick-on shifters on my list for Santa. Thought I would give them a go as they are inexpensive and an easy add on.

Since fitting them I have found that they are most definitely an improvement. They are easier to reach especially when cornering. Only niggle is that they are quite close to the controls.

I see some of the guys in the US have replaced the actual units for a more OEM+ look.

My questions is can anyone recommend where to buy some in the UK please?

I know they can be quite pricey but I'm sure they would be a further improvement!

Thanks

Quick update, I found a some S2T shifters for sale on ebay UK so have bought them!

Subsequently my aluminium stick on's are for sale in the appropriate section if anyone's interested.

Can't wait to fit the new ones. The stock paddles are way too small. Why did they make them so small!!??
