New wheel and paddle shifting at last!

[M-A8]

I've had a 4 spoke heated wheel on my A8, but I haven't fitted S8 paddles, I jumped straight away to custom alu paddles keeping the base of the standard black paddles.
Maybe there is some weird reason alu paddles wont fit the heated wheel?
Or 3 spoke paddles don't fit 4 spoke wheel?

But that can't be true, because mu current custom paddles are sitting on the base of a standard paddles from a heated 4 spoke wheel on a non heated 3 spoke S wheel now.

In that case, it's worth the risk. I'll keep an eye out on eBay.

Shame, I missed some a little while ago that I let go because I didn't think they'd fit!

Oh, I do love your headlight switch... Must add that to my list of must-do mods.

Buy this and you will have alu paddles and steering buttons

To do you need a light switch ideally from A3 as they go for about 30-40quid and transfer only the knob

This is the light switch you need

Im gutted. My new to me eBay wheel arrived with paddles nut the seller firgot to mentio that the car had been fitted with a crook lock type of device which has squashed 3" of the wheel.

That is frustrating and I'm being polite here.
I would shove it up his .... and buy the one from my link from earlier on. £120 for a set of Alu paddles and chrome steerin buttons is really cheap, and you will have a spare wheel as it fits A8 with no problem, even A8 airbag fits S5 wheel.

Unfortunately I don't think my airbag will fit that wheel and only one photo has the paddles the other 2 pics don't seems to unless it's the angle

They only stick out a tiny bit from behind the wheel so a slight angle will make them invisible.
Hard to tell without knowing what you have, is it a PF wheel with a round airbag ?? If so then it won't fit obviously, but if it's a 3 spoke or 4 spoke then it will.
You got a pic of your wheel ??

This is my current wheel without paddles.
