Flappy Paddles
Inspired by Scott's thread about the chromed light knob and window switches etc, I was wondering how easy it would be to change the Tiptronic flappy paddle switches on the steering wheel to the ally style ones from an S8? Do they come off easily or is it a whole steering wheel change? Also, are there any slightly bigger ones from, say, one of the RS cars that may fit? The standard ones seem a little low. Mine are basic black ones with illuminated symbols, but the aluminium ones would look nicer I think.

Looks like a fairly easy job.
I assume airbag out, controls out (volume, mode etc) and then paddles out £100 Plus both switches around new around £120 and you can completely transform the steering wheel for total of £220 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A8-Pa...item3f30511fe9 ....and... £30 for mirror switch button and another £30ish for lights switch and it's a quiet nice chrome package, but that would top the cost up to just under £300

Cheaper option, which wouldn't be so bad, as long you fit it straight onto chromed paddles and if the actual extensions were made from chromed stuff as well....but, they would look horrible inside A8 no matter what, at least this shape

These?
This need for chrome is going to get expensive.

Cheers Scott, you just confirmed what I said earlier, they look ridiculous !!!
OEM S8 one look way way way much better. Size maybe isn't great, but they look like they belong there and are fairly comfortable, plus you don't want BIG paddles on such a refined car like A8

Get a price and see what happens.
I don't mind the larger paddles. It would make it easier changing gear with the wheel turned.
