I didn't replace the whole stick, just the bits. Following that Aellis guy on Youtube. Just don;t do it with a credit card and a phone in your hand. Use a proper trim removal tool and its easy. He only replaces the leather bits, I replaced the middle bit too, which is really easy ones the leather sides are off....

This is the one I bought as well:

Wouldn't recommend AliExpress for engine/mecahnical parts, but to dismantle this and use the cover parts is fine.

Assuming your car has this bumper, they should all fit

You can buy something like this:
Black Forest Industries

Another idea is that you can buy original gear knob from Cupra R which has alcantara finish, but I don't know part number.

Maybe someone else will help with part number (because I'm struggling too between BFI and Cupra R knob)?

Only issue with the Cupra R one is it’s a pain in the backside to keep clean! I must clean it at least once a week to ensure it doesn’t flatten too much.

I completed missed that. Downside to using my phone.

Your right he needs the Leon ones.

My mistake, i have seen the ones for the leon but he puts leon 6f and sometime 2017+ or 2018 on them so i get confused if there is any difference with the bumper.

Thanks for the recommendation, i have seen this video but just was not 100 percent with buying off ali express and wasn't sure if the quality was any good. How long roughly are shipping times?

Depends, I have had stuff arrive in a week (DSG gear knob as it happens) but others have been a month (electrical connection bits).

I think with Covid-19 I'd expect more likely to the month end of the spectrum.

But quality wise, I'm really happy with it for the price. It matches my carbon fibre paddle shifters really well and they were double the price even second hand.

The paddles where these:

Only picture I have from my build thread:

Not normally a fan of chrome, but the mish mash of gloss black, chrome and leather when I first replaced the leather with carbon, looked like this...

So I swapped the top bit for the chrome bit that came with the carbon fibre knob. Have to say I much preferred the gloss black trim pieces of my 280 over the chrome in the carbon. But I'd rather it matched that didn't. And there is a lot of chrome trim on the carbon, so to much £££ to start swapping it out...

Looks mint, where did you get the carbon paddles from if i may ask?

I bought mine second hand. He'd bought them and decided he didn't like them as his fingers where too big. If I'm honest I suspect he didn't like their fitment, because when I did a test fit, they worked, but they were to close to the steering wheel, so when pressing the paddle, it didn't 'click'.

I literally just added another layer of sticky to pad it out a little more, not only did they click perfectly, they seem to look better in relation to the original padels.
