I thought about that, but they won't illuminate.
They would have to be wrapped only from one side, face, unless the joint will be just on the edge and slightly melted down, which is an option, like here where the edge of wrap was melted down with a hot round metal bar

I have the paddles in my car and I thought this was standard across the board, but after speaking with ScottB5 he mentioned that not all of them have them at all So presumably adding paddles would be whole much bigger ball ache than changing the existing ones for better chromed up versions. Is there something inside the cowling of the steering column which would allow someone doing the retro fit on their car, or is it not possible Regards, Mark.

As a large group of A8 Owners is there not such a thing a "Trade Thread!" on here, where each member lists down their location and trade and from that should someone in east London have a leaking sink, then the trade directory of the owners gives away who from the club that can help...
i only say this as on the previous MLR Evo thread that I was part of we had fabricator and from this various members were making roll cages and harness bars made to the spec of the club members request, it was very cool as the people who wanted them designed them, and the club members in the trade had them built and sold them to the members for a little over cost. Do we have any fabricators or metal workers here, if so I have to say I like the design of the S7 / RS7 one's and if there was a vote for a design choice to have some made then I'd select them Regards, Mark.

Bloody hell... That's daylight robbery. They're just two plastic micro-switches with a bit of bling on them. I won't be investing... I'm out !!!

LordHefner, I've often thought about that style of thread.
Worth starting one, sort of a networking thread I guess. I agree lee. It's ridiculous. You can buy a whole steering wheel for about £400.

So are these for our cars? How do they fasten on?
I always assumed they were part of the steering wheel assembly. http://www.oemplus.com/shifter-paddl...v2-p-1089.html |

Damn... Those OEM chrome paddles aren't even ALL chrome... They're only chrome on the front. The back is still black plastic... And they want £300 for them?? No way....

Are those prices definitely right?
I found this from an old thread online, part numbers and prices for the S8 paddles. Surely they haven't gone up from £50 to £150? 4E0 951 527 K 3Q7 - £53.51 4E0 951 527 L 3Q7 - £53.51 |
