They are fine.

Plug them into the wheel and refit.
You'll be fine.

Now get on with it.

I know Scott, I know, I'm just to an@l sometimes and I can't change it.

But, the buttons are in and they look OK.

Paddles don't fit. When some shops say please double check with us as there were slight changes after certain year, that means they won't fit without a little modifications , but because I've already purchased S2T paddles, I wasn't going to keep the OEMs anyway, plus I kind of knew they wont fit.
It's doable from what I can see, but I won't be attempting it because I will re-sell them as Brand New so I would rather leave it as it is.

The mods will have to be done to the base of the original paddle on the car.
Main mod would be transferring the pcd from new model to the old one because of the LED position.
One of the other differences, and actually the main one why this would have to be done is the type of the base which is slightly different, the angles are same, well, just look at the pictures attached.

Well, they will fit plenty of other Audi's so surely they will sell anyway.

They are a little bit different arnt they.

Is it a age related difference or model?

Year related Scott.
A bit gutted coz I wanted at least to see how they look on the wheel, but never mind. I would make it work if not the S2T paddles which were shipped last week already.

Steering wheel buttons with extra buttons ???

They won't fit, shame
They are too short and possibly slightly higher than ours.
