This is what puts me off all the paddle extenders - they need a bit of tactility in my opinion.

The ones I bought from AliExpress had the exact same 3M tape on for a third of that price!
the ali express ones are exactly the same for a third of the price. just have to wait a little longer for them

Bought the DSG Paddle Extensions off ebay from HAZ Motorsport. Have to say they are excellent quality and fit around the original paddles really well. Agreed with others they could do with some tactility on the rear, but not a deal breaker. Went with black as it matches the black bits on the steering wheel and dash!

Thought I'd update this.
Been doing a bit of digging and found that the paddles fitted to the 5F leon are also used in these Audis.
It opens up a much larger selection of extension options

I got excited, but then saw the RS7.Thought I'd update this.

They’re different as have the silver bits...
Is it just me or is anybody else struggling to find some nice, plain OEM looking extended paddles? I hate the comically small paddles on VAG cars and I honestly thought by now somebody would have manufactured something OEM+ that blended with the cars interior but offered a bigger, easier to reach paddle!
I really wanted some extensions for when my car arrives but I don’t want something that doesn’t match colour wise and looks like it’s been lifted from an arcade racing game

I’d say get something that is a contrast rather than matching. If you get something that tries to match the plastic, it won’t and will annoy more. The Audi’s seem to have extra silver bits fitted (see earlier photo) so something like that would look better than another black plastic that’s not the same.Is it just me or is anybody else struggling to find some nice, plain OEM looking extended paddles?

I suppose...I just feel that most offerings don’t go with the interiors at all - I feel sure a gloss black option or maybe even something in copper for the newer cars but everything on the market seems to stick out like a sore thumb 
I’ve since found some I like from the USA for about $55 that are a black rubberised plastic and look very OEM by a company called Relak so might give those a try

az tech on facebook showed some copper ones, not sure if you can buy them but might be worth a chat if you are interested.
I dont like them personally but then we all like different things.

I was thinking about getting some spare paddles and taking them apart/making new whole paddles (I'm a design engineer and use CAD all day, plus have a 3D printer)
Then plastidipping them to make them rubberised.

Im not really getting on with my current ones, and these sound more like what Im after.
Do you have a link please?
I saw these but they don't really have an online shop as such, at least that I can find and don't much fancy buying off Facebook... shame because I actually quite like them!
I thought about this myself, would be very interesting to have a go at 3D printing some bespoke items that are a direct replacement for the originals - would be pretty lucrative too as nobody else is doing it, only extensions
They look a lot more OEM than most other offerings, and the rubberised texture should make them nicer to use than hard, cold plastic.
These are the ones I found: http://relakmoto.com/Rallytech-Paddles-Satin-Black-RtechBlkB9.htm
They are listed for Audi S3 2017 onwards...not sure if they are confirmed to fit ours or not but cant imagine them being much different - although I'm sure somebody on here will be able to confirm this?
I've got a broken paddle on order so I can investigate making them.
If it's successful I might even consider custom ones for people, will even try to get the illumination working.
I've bought some Audi ones off eBay so will update when I get them along with a can of "plastidip" to try and make them feel OEM.
