Shift Paddles Found Them

[chunky79]

Ah, I was bored so had a look on there and found these. I'm over in the us of a in Sept so if people want some bringing back I will do so. They seem to be starting a group buy over there. Think they are $300 which to me seems a lot of money but I am a tight arse

Wouldn't be any cheaper here, I think. Not without producing large numbers of them.

Is there a link for those that want to tart up their base model steering wheels?

[chunky79]

Yes its called rs6.com
On phone at moment and still haven't worked out how to copy paste web pages

Let me help you with that. http://www.rs6.com/showthread.php/24389 ... ft-paddles

Thanks Dunc for your kind offer but this pic doesn't do it for me:



"i feel the shape aint that pretty (a bit like elephant ears)" from that thread sums it up for me perfectly so I wouldn't be biting on these I am afraid.

[swannny]

whats all the fuss about, i quite like the standard ones.

if i was to change them, i'd rather put the money towards a new flat bottom steering wheel with the new paddles.



god i'm getting old!!

If they were plasti dipped same as OEM they would look better. Still better than diesel steering wheel

[Shoppinit]

"elephant ears". Brilliant. That's exactly what it looks like with the 3 spokes, the bottom one being the trunk.

Chunky - were these bolt on or do they replace the standard ones?

I might be interested if RT-chap might make some in carbon fibre.

What's the fascination with carbon fibre?!?! These bits weight less than a bird's fart already, it's not like we're loading straw onto a donkey. Carbon fibre has invaded everything, it's like a bonafide colour now. I was ordering something the other day and I swear there was a list of colours and there it was, an option for CF that cost a tenner more than the others, yet looked cheaper. WTF?
However, and this has just occurred to me, it is the fastest 'colour' by its very nature.

[chunky79]

I think they were bolt on Chris. Have a search on rs6.com.

[rob8457]

Yes they are bolt on i got them from hear http://www.thettshop.com/interior.asp?c ... uct=202606 they are a direct replacement and very hard to get i think i had the last set they had.

While I don't have a problem with the OE paddles, I think due in part to having gibbon-like hands/fingers (useful for many, many things )I wouldn't say no to a "well shaped pair" in carbon. However, if all goes according to plan the beast will soon be sporting a V10 RS6 wheel. I figured that I am too tall to headbutt the steering wheel should the bag(s) not deploy....

[chunky79]

I was going to say too ugly too but I'm not. All you have to do is make sure you don't hit anything and nothing hits you, jobs a goodun.

I see what you did there.
