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.
Thanks... really like the look of them. Anyone able to confirm if they fit?

Based on the P/Ns and photos they should.
I've bought some so can confirm when the arrive next week.

He accepts offers of £19 too

Bit too big for my liking though...

Do you think you'll leave the rear of the extenders flat like all the ones currently available or will you profile them to give them a tactility like the standard ones?

I'm hoping to put the ridges on like the standard paddles. However, that is more machining work so will lead to more cost.
They probably won't be proud either, they are more likely to be sub-flush

Hi everyone! new forum member and my first post on here. Been hunting for a good solution to the paddles and found these. they're quite a bit more involved to install (came from an ND Miata and changed the paddles on them as well) and also a bit on the pricey side but I do believe they're the cleanest ones i've found online so far.

have already placed an order and will post up pictures when they arrive. installation-wise tho might be at a shop as i've never done an airbag removal before myself.

That's pretty much what I'll be doing but hopefully cheaper and a load of different designs

Received these yesterday. The fitment is a clamp fitment with just one screw pulling the package together, so not 4 grub screws (as shown on the ebay ad) that could harm the plastic paddles. I shortened the supplied allen key about 5mm as otherwise it would hit the wheel making it difficult to turn. Once this was done mounting was really easy.

Fitment is great and they sit flush with the paddles. Improved the feel of the paddles significantly :)

i also just fitted these, they look great, and yes i also needed to dremmel the crap out of the allen key, also found turning the wheel, so the screw was facing up helped alot.

Finally got my custom replacements fitted.

They work brilliantly and allow you to change gear with the top and bottom of the shifter and look much better than standard. Fitting was really easy and took me about 20 mins.

Need a couple of tweaks but they'll be for sale this week hopefully!

Do you have a comparison pic available with the regular ones? Both unattached? These look awesome!
