Paddle Shifters

[S800VXR]

Pulled the trigger on some paddle shifters today to start my shifter project. Wanting an OEM look and having read some of the US forums I don't think it will be too bad.

Once it's working il post up the parts and what I did.

You using the G8 forum for ideas/suggestions?

I saw a *long* thread on these, and was tempted to DIY it.

That's my inspiration but using AMG paddles as they are bigger. Will need to mod the stalks to gain a little more clearance.

I've got a few stables and sheds that could do with a bit of DIY ... You fancy it

But back to the thread....
Sounds very interesting and yes can't wait for the pics

Sounds very interesting, look forward to your updates, have found a Hurst paddle shift kit for a 2010+ Camaro. Not sure it would fit any easier than any other type of paddle arrangement though, maybe a spare steering wheel is in order for prototype R&D testing

Sounds interesting

These turned up today. Nice solid feel as Ali and not plastic!

Just got to wait for MF to finish my car then I can start fitting these to the wheel.

You need better paddles than that, with the weather we've got this week.


Watching with interest.....

Tell me about it, cleaned the car ready to go to the fish today and by the time I got there it was filthy again! They must think I don't wash it.
