I'm also not sure I should admit this, but I struggle with using the paddles! :)

I only use them when I'm pressing on and I find them much more useful then having the GB in Sport mode. Once I've calmed down it's back to good old "waft-o-matic" :D

I have some £30 plastic/CF extensions on mine though which makes them a bit easier to use (would prefer the £60 metal-look ones as the match the OEM paddle better).

Yer I saw yours about a year ago and was tempted. I find it easier to use the gear-lever in manual, short stubby hands. But don't do it enough... It's bizarre, it's all in the head! :)

My fingers are similar which is why I got the extenders as they're wider as well as longer so I don't have to move my hands around the wheel any more to "reach around" to the paddles, if you know what I mean!

Come on bam... That's just lined up for you! :)

I used the paddles all the way home, it's the quietness of it that makes it feel different. Need to sort that!

Thats the ones I'm going to be swapping to as I prefer the look. The cheap CF ones I have now were a "tester" to see if I liked them but I've not got around to swapping. I also used some 2mm thick double sided foam tape rather than the 3M stuff that comes with the paddles and it'll be a right git to remove!

(I know it's a C5....) these are the extensions I bought for mine, not sure I'm completely sold with them just yet!

Is that because they don't work that well? They look really good though.

They work brilliantly, give you that just bit more reach when pushing on, it's more the aesthetics I wasn't sure on! For a £30 mod really cannot complain though. Thanks mate!

Just ordered some as the existing paddles can be a bit tricky-remind me of ones on a Rangey Sport...not as bad as the 'Steptronic nipples' that feature on Alpinas though!

Those ones above is what i have on mine... love them, really finish off the interior..

I had the CF ones like ian before but they just dont look right, and stand out as cheap and tacky... much nicer with the metal ones!
