Not bad, not sure you 'need' them like you say but an option at least.  They do look much better that some of the options I have seen in the past.

On a side note, I had my paddles replaced as they started peeling too - too much use maybe  :grin:

....Thanks for reading, neg. I thought I had written that I didn't need them but they were a great improvement - Like most good mods.

My heater knobs peeled while I was under warranty and I didn't even mention it to my dealer but he noticed it and decided to offer me a complete new aircon dual control unit - Which I accepted of course.

Ah yes you did and I agree - just like I didnt 'need' better suspension, 19" wheels ... the list could go on   :grin:  I would be interested to try them though - just not sure about sticking them on in case I wanted to remove.  

In fact thinking about it there is the odd occasion where I use the stick - like when going round a corner to change gear as you cant always get to the paddle - like when pulling away from a junction /lights.  :undecided:

....The paddleshifters themselves are so strongly built that you wouldn't damage them removing but depending on just how strong that VickyBH sticky tape is, you might pull off the stock paddles! I doubt it though - I reckon the tape would give out first. I doubt very much that someone wouldn't like them.

These paddle extensions now help some of those 'emergency' floor stick actions pulling away from roundabouts etc.
