I use my paddles fairly often, wanted an upgrade. With these, the fit is so snug that pulling off the 3M stickers for the glue isn't even needed.

These are finished with a glossy epoxy that is very smooth to the touch. There is one rib on the backside for grip.

 

Garish, in MHO.
Besides, I grew up with three on the tree and four on the floor. The steering column is not where I go to shift gears. I much prefer the console gear shift and never use the paddle shifters. In addition, finding the right paddle shifter on a tight winding road can be very problematic.

Same here but not just the right, but rather both on twisties makes them un-viable IMHO. Shifter is much more reliable and quick. Beforehand I would have never realized this

 

Sorry, should have used the word "correct" instead of "right". LOL
BTW, I've had the paddles on four cars now and never used them. At least they should be mounted to the stationary column and not the wheels which rotates. At least then you could find the "correct" one no matter the position of the steering wheel.

 

I prefer the solid/whole pieces, but those in black would be pretty nice.

Agree that the paddles not being fixed to the column sucks. Can you imagine giant Lambo paddles following the turn of the wheel? I know the Huracan is column mounted and that makes the most sense.

The little kid in me does love the paddles in a straight line though.

 

Paddles create a symphony in a tunnel.

 

Please clarify for me. What would be the difference in using the paddles in a tunnel or the console shifter in Dynamic and Sport Mode? Either way I can shift my transmission when I want to rather than letting the TCU control shift points.

 

The difference is one or two hands on the wheel.

 

I bought these before I had my F Type and a few days later I saw the T-Carbon of the companion. I also bought them XD. Yours are fine, they have a great quality price but the carbon ones are unbeatable. I thought about buying them red but I have the whole black car, I did not want them to be the center of all eyes. Black would be incredible in your car

 

I like the red ones but they wouldnt go well with my orange paddles. On paddles vs shifter I find the shifter confuses me (I shift down when I want to go up etc) even though I have no problem with a manual. But then I am using my left hand rather than right, maybe it would be less confusing with my right hand.

I dont think that shifters should be on the column (for me anyway), any time I have tracked a car I have been told to keep my hands essentially at a quarter to three and not to shuffle them, the only times I have had to move my hands on the wheel have been on hairpin turns and you dont tend to change up until you are out of them and straightening up.

 

[QUOTE = BruceTheQuail; 1969073] Me gustan los rojos pero no van bien con mis paletas naranjas. En las paletas frente a la palanca de cambios, encuentro que la palanca de cambios me confunde (me cambio cuando quiero subir, etc.) aunque no tengo ningún problema con un manual. Pero luego estoy usando mi mano izquierda en lugar de derecha, tal vez sería menos confusa con mi mano derecha.

No creo que los cambiaformas deban estar en la columna (para mí de todos modos), cada vez que he rastreado un automóvil me han dicho que mantenga las manos esencialmente a las tres menos cuarto y no que las baraje, las únicas veces que he tenido que mover las manos en el volante ha sido en curvas cerradas y no se tiende a cambiar hasta que se sale de ellas y se endereza.

I agree 100%.

 

I agree. And that IS my car! That black finish is perfect. Carbon fiber paddles would look out of place because there's no C/F in my car.
