Bigger Paddles - any solutions?

Post by E14STO » Mon Mar 20, 2017 3:12 pm

Got to say - I hate them.
Worst part of the driving experience for me.

Whoever decided to put them on the wheel wants shooting, and why they made them so tiny!!!!


Anyone do any nice extended paddles?

I have extended ones on my C6 and they work well although it's very much a marmite situation with people.

These ones-stick into back if existing paddles using an adhesive pad. Will try and dig out the details if you like them? Came from the US and around £50 if I recallImage

I've seen similar to those - the 3m sticky pad ones. Most only have the top extension though.
Cheap enough to give them a try I guess.

I had these carbon ones on my C6 for over two years with no problems. They weren't cheap around £250

Each to their own, but my view is they are useless without unless driving in a straight line!

I use the gear stick when changing on a bend. Like the good old days.

Old skool cool furious.... sadly my pork is not fast enough to warrant changing with a paddle or a stick, in addition driving it fast makes one look a tool.....
