Review on πŸš— Upgrade Your VW Golf MK7 GTI R R-line: HIGH FLYING Silver DSG Steering Wheel Shift Paddles Shifters Replacement Kit (2014-2021) by Daniel Delgado

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Don't waste your money on famous paddles.

Just take them. I didn't use the $260 "official" ones, but they turned out to be better than I expected. Finish: Nearly flawless anodizing (see video). Color: Red looks stunning and natural against the interior of the GTI. Shape: perfect for both looks and function. Fit: same as OEM. Good with no glitches, but I've added electrical tape in the places shown in the photo in case it rattles. Probably not necessary. Utility: Aesthetically and sensorially, this is a huge improvement over the standard. I race on track and this improves mid-corner shifting when my hands are not in position 10 and 2. Installation: It took 5 minutes with needle nose pliers to remove the pin holding the OEM units (turn the wheel upside down). ). Descent). I would give this 5 stars if it was delivered a little quicker and fit snugger than the OEM. One caveat: the length of each extended blade means increased stress on the plastic hinge that holds the blades. Aggressive pressure on the tips of an extended paddle can eventually break this hinge, and other than superglue the only solution is to buy a new wheel. I think it's worth it.
