    Looks great - Satin Chrome definitely suits the Mk5 Wheel. I'll probably order the Stainless Steel one next week.

      I had a set of black S2T paddles on my MK5 GTi and now have a set on my R36 with Golf R steering wheel. Very well made, great quality and they feel solid as a rock! Just some feedback for those considering their options

        Got around to fitting mine today (was waiting for VW to replace my clutch pack):











        Looks nice, feels nice, no getting in the way of the indicator/wiper stalks. My only disappointment when I received them was finding out the silver trim bits on the front are basically just stickers attached to the plastic. You have to be looking close to notice though. Yet to give them a thorough test...


        The 3M 'tape' looks more like a very sticky type of chewing gum - doubt they'll fail in a hurry. (Plus they include a spare set of 3M tape)

          yeah i loved that you open the box and it comes with a pair of gloves and a sterilising pad, its like a mini operation. very professional bit of kit.
          i find that i drive with the paddles about 50% of the time, and when its me on my own in the car probably 95% of the time. they make a huge difference.
          yours look great Ryan. i do like the aluminimum style. is it just a sticker on it? i never noticed. maybe that means i could peel the black part off mine? i would have preferred all silver on mine.

            Ryan - were these the genuine Maniacs or the eBay ones?

                Okay - thanks Ryan. Will wait until we get the car before making a decision.

                  You'll need to first buy a steering wheel that has shifters anyway - didn't think the non-sporty cars had them as standard.

                    Sports Pack - I didn't think it was available on the 118 TSi?

                        Ah (penny dropped - I'm a little slow). Just realised you have a Golf, not a Passat

                        Paddle shifters come with the Sports Pack (TDi and V6 models only - not available on the 118 TSi model).

                            If you've got a steady hand it's dead easy

                            If you've got the shakes then best ask a friend to help

                                Did you read Page 4? Sticky 3M adhesive is used.
