Looks great!
Are those paddles attached to the steering wheel?
Much be more intuitive to use than the regular shift buttons.

Thats where the idiot at P should have put them in the first place
Every time I look at my wheel I think what a D***.

My question is can this be done with a couple of micro switches and some paddles.
Are the original buttons just intermittent N/O micro switches?

I have asked this many times before and never got an answer.

If they are just switches this mod will be a piece of cake!.

any clarification?.

perrycarrera4 is out driving his new paddles and has not come back yet!.

I love them on my Cayenne Turbo but I make do with the gear selector. I hate the tip buttons on the steering wheel.

I'm wondering if these paddles would fit?
