S2T paddles for the win, IMO.

They look 100% OEM, and are a top quality product...

Quite right, but at significant cost! I’ll see how these cheapo ones look for £17. They seem, from the video, to at least work as they should, so, if the appearance is liveable with, they’ll do! If not, and the benefit in operation is clear, then I might consider S2Ts. They are very nice looking, but if you got stung for duty, on top of the purchase price, you could be looking at nearly £300!

I like those ST2s, but I wouldn't pay a penny over £50 for them. They're machined Aluminium, not Titanium, I just can't fathom paying £200 for them.

Likewise. I'm sure they look good but the Chinese ones don't look bad. I don't use the paddles so probably won't bother but if I do, I'll try some off ebay first.

I will be one of the few who bought Racingline paddles ( from Awesome GTI).
They are a pleasure to look at and use every day.
I use them mainly for downshifts but also for pressing on when I feel like being more engaged.
After several manual performance Golfs I am ok with DSG 75% of the time. But it’s nice to vary between Drive, Sport and Manual depending on the mood and circumstances.
Hardly ever flick the stick to the left though, unless climbing a steady hill at 70 when I keep it in manual 6th to lift the revs a wee bit and cut the noise.
Would def for paddles again if I went DSG again.

Have you been using the paddles? I tried them once and wasn't all that bothered.
