R8 steering wheel paddles?

[Rutters4]

Audi were stupid enough to have entrusted me with a V10 plus for the weekend, (cheers Audi, what a motor!).

The thing is, I've found that I've been changing gear manually the whole time via the steering wheel paddles. Now I know the sound of the V10 at 8k was the main reason for that but I also really liked using those paddles. The steering wheel itself was not as good as the RS4 but the paddles were much better.

Does anyone know if you can retrofit the same, (or similar) paddles to the RS4 wheel....?

Cheers.

(Also, is there any way of getting that engine to fit...?!)

No they don't fit i tried this the backing plate on the paddles are a different size
i bought a set thinking it would be a easy fit or i could change the backing plate but no
a £400 lesson but sold them to Glenn for his RS3 and recouped some of my money they also fit the C6 RS6

they are lovely thought billet aluminum very nice

you'll just have to live with the plastic ones or look at some after market ones but any i have seen just look a bit halfords

The paddles on the MY13 B8 are smaller than the MY14, not as nice by any stretch of the imagination. I had contemplated changing mine, but it's purely cosmetic & I don't think I can be arsed tbh. However, these are rather nice:

I prefer the my2013 stumpy silver ones to the plasticy feeling longer ones on the 14my cars

I've not fondled the MY14 flaps...... I'll take your words for it.

I must admit I've never been a fan of big flaps

Gives you something to aim for with your fingers......... When changing gear, of course

I did fit the larger MY14 paddles to my car as i drive more 10 to 2 hand potion and found the small paddles a pain as i was changing gear with my pinkies
quite easy to fit took about an hour

400 Euros vs. FREE

Quality, file your nails at the same time

They're just lolly sticks but I like your thinking......

I'll dig this pic back out from an old thread, but this is where it's at !!

Awesome, trouble is I've hunted through audi parts catalogues and can't find those bananas anywhere, I would have liked to go OEM, but assuming I can find an after market bunch that fits the RS4 wheel, (you have obviously been lucky to find those two...) would you use some kind of epoxy to bond them on, or just a regular super glue...?

Also I'm a bit concerned I might eat them on my way to work if I get a bit peckish.
