I'd got with whatever option means I can the buy the chrome switches and paddles you've bought already off your at a fair price.
![]() But sensible, I would go for the full custom paddle shifters over any of the stick on ones. I like the stick CF and chrome idea but I think the custom ones will look better. Less chance of them flying off mid dynamic turn such menuvior. Do you lose the illumination of the - and + on the paddles with the custom paddles?

I would go with factory chrome paddles then stick on extenders because you may not like it after a few weeks or months and want them off.
Wondering why the 8's never had chrome button surrounds before. Wondering why you never bought my wide screen DIS ![]()

BTW, PM sent. I get your point, and it's a very valid one. This is why I haven't decided yet after over a week of thinking about it. 8s never had chromed buttons??? Even S8s??

Found these as well, but after calling their Swiss HQ I'm kind off disappointed as they look really good quality.
After a short run this product has been discontinued due to the problems with the supplier which manufactured them for Sportec http://www.audituningmag.com/sportec...-gear-changes/

Morning all
After another night of sleep and thinking which ones to go for, I'm almost decided on the the custom ones, but now I'm leaning more towards aluminium finish to match the colour of all the aluminium trims around the cabin. On a black interior they do stand out a bit more because of the contrast between black and silver and the actual size of them. I hate choices like that ![]()

hahaha, good idea a tho
![]() I was against aluminium silver look only because of the picture below where they do stand out a bit with the black interior in the background, but they do look quiet nice, more OEM than sticky ones. ![]()

I knew buy back offer will land on the table very soon ![]() I wont be selling the switches as they will be fitted no matter which paddles I will fit. Strong 3M tape would hold them well I think and I do like the chrome and carbon look, ish, plus you keep some of the OEM feature which is the aluminium paddles. But I do think more and more I look at all the pictures that the ones from US in sort of grey finish (polished clear) look better as it one piece not two combined. Yes, you do loose the illumination, but you know what, I dont care that much, there is enough illumination inside D3, feels almost like inside the plane sometimes.

I like the illumination, that would be the only sticking point.
But i do prefer the US ones.
