Model Year 24/25 Flappy Paddle Extenders

[trew]

Having lived with the paddle extenders for a couple of days, my only slight reservation is that I wish the corners were rounded off. I can live with corners (they aren't sharp), but I'd prefer not to have them. When I've got a spare day I may be tempted to get the old grinder going and round them off/repaint them myself.

Well you probably dont need to flick the paddles in the TDI 2.0 on a roundabout. Generally a stab on the accelerator and a roar does the trick when you see a gap on a busy roundabout and of course nobody is indicating where they are going because obviously all drivers are telepathic....

Or a BMW driver as in my experience indicators are seemingly not fitted to most BMW’s……………. Were they an extra cost option on those cars? . Apologies to any forum members who also own and drive a BMW .

Inline with those sharp edges you find on Seat / Cupra ? car door plastic pieces you catch your fingers on may be. Ouch. Not just the Arona reported on others. Think its been found on the Formentor. I know I photographed the matching Arona piece of the construction / fabricated bit with another model.

DSG Paddles (link above) have some with lovely smooth rounded corners.

As it's you I'll let you off.
But TBF my 3 Series had a huge amount of factory fitted extras put on it by its original owner, one of which was the incredibly rare Indicator Option.

Thanks Guy - I hadn't noticed the link. That said, I think I'll round off the corners of my £12 ones and save the cash for something else.

Like that people are telepathic.
Lazy drivers I would say
With no consideration.

I'm not even sure what you're on about.

I think they take the test under satnav now, turn left, turn right etc. Think they get a pass and then the guy says just forget about indicating... the only place I don't indicate now is on a strange U turn junction where if you indicate pedestrians running across the road in front of you thinking you are doing a U turn loop between carriages when they are in the middle of the road blocking your way. It's right, but not right round and back on the opposite lane, which they had assumed. The pedestrians have their own red and green light to walk but run on red... better not go off topic.

It was in response to comment from fellow member Tell. The post which you liked as well. Never mind.

Yeah correct better not go off topic.

If you ever go to Thailand you learn a whole new way to cross the road as a pedestrian, me and the mrs were given a instruction on how to indicate to the many many bikes that are trying to run you over.

You're in luck - they've gone down to £10.79, including shipping to the UK...

PLEASE make sure they fit your car. There are different fitments for different shaped paddles.

Thank you

I've looked back to the previous page and found the post you were responding to, so I understand it now. Phew! I can sleep tonight.
