Installed. Piece of cake.

Thats what this thread is about. In short PFL paddles are different to the FL ones, which are now the same shape as the TTmk3 and new A4. The ones I pictured above were advertised as being for the A4.Can anybody tell me if the the FL paddles are the same as the PFL? I've seen a few I like but they don't say wether they'd fit a 2017 s3.... just 8v platform.

Ok mate, cheers!Thats what this thread is about. In short PFL paddles are different to the FL ones, which are now the same shape as the TTmk3 and new A4. The ones I pictured above were advertised as being for the A4.
Not sure. The ones I bought were the first I found. Check eBay. These are the ones I purchased:Ok mate, cheers!
So are these the only one available at the moment? Where can I get a set?

Looks like they dont follow contours of the steering wheel unfortunately, how are you liking them?
They are perfectly flat from the side so no they don't follow the profile of the wheel; however from the front I'd say they follow the curve of the wheel just fine (and since that's what you see that's what matters). Still like em just fine, no regrets.

I want something simple like the RS ones
Do the facelift RS3 (standard) metal tipped paddles not plug and play?I agree, assume there’s nothing on the market since this thread?

Not sure to be honest, I don’t know how the current ones are attached, whether it is by clips or not etcI don’t know, I would imagine they would require the wheel to be taken apart?

Yup. Airbag comes out, then the bezel, followed by finger tip control units. Once all that's out you'll have access to the paddle shifter screw.
Here's the frustrating part, bezel has male pins that insert into rubber foam. Maybe this is unique to my experience but, since being dissembled, this bezel refuses to sit flush against the steering wheel like it did before.
Last year I tried three sets of paddles during my search- Ebay ones pictured above, OEM RS, and RelakMoto.
OEM RS's were an improvement over stock but still a tad small. Plus wish i hadnt disassembled the wheel.
Ebay extensions design is flawed. As they extend out they move further away from your reach due to their non curved design. This can also be observed by looking at their side profile. This completely defeats their purpose as i had to extend my fingers and re-position my hand to shift with them.
RelakMoto's are the ones i stuck with. They are curved, thereby allowing extensions to follow a consistent spacing with the wheel. Also the rubber coating is a nice touch, they feel silky smooth and give off an oem look.
If anyone's interested in the OEM RS shifters i still have my set laying around. Will be posting them in classifieds soon.
