Has anyone fitted the Carbon/Aluminium Paddle Shiffters from The TT Shop to the multi function steering wheel of a Gti/Ed30? I think the steering wheel may be the same in the Audi, fitting them with 3M tape cant be great though!

Neil, are you the chap with the Candy White Ed30 that I was chatting to at Inters with the AMD map and was in Performance Tuner too?
In fact you can see you in this vid about to go after me..  :wink:

Yes thats me, what times did you get? My best run was 14.1 and 0-60 in 5.5. But doing an Orange Audi S3 by a car length made my day.

Only £5.00 a go I'll send her round.

The Paddles are from Tid  - www.tidstyling.com - and fit over the old ones with the tape supplied, hope I wont be picking them up of the carpet in the morning. Dont think they will work that well pressing right at the very tips but plenty more area to select.

....Forget about her washing and polishing my car, I've got something else for her to polish and I'll give her more than a fiver! :evil: [unless of course she is your lady, in which case I apologise!]

....Great pics, Neil - Big thanks for posting those so quickly - Carbonfibre has a similar effect on me as hot girls in yellow wellies! I had a chat with Dave about them and we both reckoned that the contoured base and modern tape strengths will probably be absolutely fine. Obviously the leverage when using the very ends will increase the loading but....

What also looks cool is that the '+' and '-' symbols still show and I assume they must continue to illuminate - That's an excellent solution - It all looks very oem.

Please let us know how they are in practice and any problems you find. Meanwhile my name is on a pair!
