Fair play for going with what you like.
Sorry they didn't secure as they said they would.
Sounds like you have them on now though.
One thing I will say,
Just be mindful of how much pressure you use to pull the paddles.
As you know, they only need a slight amount of pressure to activate them.
In the heat of a spirited drive, it's understandable that one may sometimes pull on the paddles a little harder.
I've seen paddles that have been pulled at with too much force and they start to come away from the steering wheel.
I always make sure that I apply pressure on the paddles dead-centre and not by pulling at either the top or the bottom of the paddles, where leverage is greater.
With this in mind, extended paddles would be of no use to me as I only use the centre of the paddles to operate them.
I also make sure that I only apply the amount of pressure that is necessary, regardless of how excited I might be at the time.
I would be a little wary of the increased leverage/ force you will be applying if you used the tips of the extensions to operate the paddles (which presumably you will be).
Maybe keep an eye on them.
Not trying to scare you, by the way!
lol
Good mod.
Glad you are happy with them.
