I've casually asked before but since work is quiet I'll try to get some more opinions. Basically the OEM paddles in the Golf (or any VW) don't extend enough to be accessible at all when the wheel is turned, so they're only good for going straight. Sure, in a proper manual you're not really supposed to change gears while turning but with the fast gear changes and no loss in power thanks to DSG, this isn't a concern (I've shifted gears using the tiptronic shifter in the centre console area before when I couldn't reach the pedals). The dilemma is that while I've found suitable extensions for the paddles that all have good reviews, the prices are way beyond what I'd consider reasonable (around $200 shipped). I was happy to find an eBay seller in China who has these for a much better price ($46 shipped), but not in the colours I'm interested in. So, I'll get pics of all the colours and copy them below, and then you can tell me which colour you'd choose from the cheap batch, and then which you'd get if money was no object (in which case you would've bough the BMW 1M... probably) xD Keep in mind I have the beige interior. Cheap Options (exactly the same product as sold for $200 in the USA, just less colours available) 1. Black with red script 2. German flag 3. Silver with black script 4.

Satin chrome with black inlay (the one with no writing on it) 6. Black 7. Stainless Steel
