Should I move her on...

[Shinobi675]

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

[IanH755]

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"

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).

[Shinobi675]

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!

[IanH755]

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!

[Shinobi675]

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!

[Shinobi675]

Ian, these mate?

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!

[Shinobi675]

Just bought them! Guy selling seems a really nice bloke.

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

You guys would make rubbish lesbians...

[Jay_g]

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

[Shinobi675]

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

[Jay_g]

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!

[Shinobi675]

I think they look pretty good mate! Oem and very crisp.

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!

[TomRS]

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!
