paddles

Just been sent photos of the new G Paddle prototypes for converting E55k buttons to paddles by Gordon. They look great and production is imminent apparently. I should be getting one of the first pairs so will update once I have them fitted.

Just got the car , noticed the upshift flappy paddle is slightly loose and dosent change gear ...downshift is fine. Any quick fixes / checks i can do? 2007 CLS 320

Hi Bit of help please. New user of the above and a question of shifting. When driving in comfort, I find that on touching the wheel paddles, the transmission will automatically go in the manual mode and operate on the paddles. Possibly me doing something wrong, the owners manual appears a bit...

For sale, a brand new set of plastic AMG paddles, removed from a CLS 63 steering wheel. Not sure which other models they will fit, so please do your homework. Part numbers are clearly visible in the pics. £40 incl P&P.

Very few cars for sale with them. Worth having? Rare? Easy/hard/expensive to retrofit? Basically should I look for a car with them? Based in Norway, so LHD cars... cheers :D

can this be done or is it a steering wheel swap? have seen some on evil bay

As above, They come with small grub screws to hold them on but tbh they are carp, as was the "Mammoth Super tape " :fail So I araldited them on! I hope the next owner likes them!! They are very nice to use and I like them, not everyone's taste but hey ho, I like them!!

I was talking to someone the other day who said they preferred shift paddles in a static position rather than have them mounted on the wheel. Never really bothered me before but after that I noticed a few flaws in the AMG set up. Yes in a track day scenario you would ideally keep your hands on...

Morning I was looking replacing the gear shift paddles on my W204 pre face lift steering wheel for some AMG ones. Before I buy the paddles can someone tell me how easy they are to replace. On my last car I did something similar and it was a case of disconnect the battery. Remove the airbag...

Paddles while in C MODE A funny thing happened the other day. I found I could go through the gears using the steering wheel paddles while in C Mode and it would indicate this on the dashboard display(C 1-6). I bet its because I have driven the thing to slow for some time and it...

Anyone interested in a W203 Sports steering wheel (3 spoke type) with gear change paddles? Does not come with airbag. Was going to install in my W203 until someone wrote it off for me. Looking for £50 posted. PM me and I can e-mail pictures.

Hi Guys I have a CLk 350 (2006) with the 7 speed auto box, if I change my steering wheel with NO paddles is it possible or easy to wire up new AMG steering with paddles so the paddles will work. The new wheel has paddles and wiring will there be wires to connect to or is this job just not...

Hello, I've not been on here for a while, and I did try a search regarding the retrofitting of the F1 style paddles but came up with nothing so bear with me... Basically I've read you can fit the flappy paddles on the W209 CLK which is a similar age etc so is it possible to fit them on the CL...

Finally got myself a replacement steering wheel for my C Class (A171 460 45 03) - and it was a good price, so i think i can afford to get the palstic paddles swapped for the AMG ones before i have it fitted to the car. So does anyone know the best place to pick up some of these from ? is it...

Just got my steering wheel back from being retrimmed. I was fed up with the really grainy and shiney standard leather on the wheel. So I got it trimmed with Punched leather at the sides and Nappa top and Bottom. I also had the stitching done in a colour to match the stitching on the C55 Seats...

Just last week I bought a 2007 SL350. The only problem I've noted on it so far is the shifter paddles don't work too well. If I pull them on their ends (fingers just on the edge of the shifter) they don't switch but rather pull the back of the switch housing out of the column (like they're...

Given I was about to retro fit E63 gear change paddles to my E55 this morning, dismantling the switches and swapping the internals of each switch over and then fitting to the wheel. Suddenly thought last night, Alps was stating in a previous thread that late 04 on cars could take a straight swop...

Got rear ended by a Mini yesterday :eek: I was slowing for traffic ahead and the lady behind me did not notice, hence slammed! into the back of me! I think my towbar took most of the impact but the sides of the rear bumper concertined. Imapact was so hard that the Audio 20 popped out of the dash...

I've just test driven a C-class automatic with the "paddles" on the steering column. I learnt that the paddles move the gears like with a manual, while the car retains the automatic controls with the tradditional gear-shift look-alike. The paddles seemed a bit of an odd concept. Why not have...
