Flappy paddles

[garethwebber]

Just sharing a side by side for those that want to see the difference life flappy paddles make.

You might think extension below is the large change but for me it’s the change in angle and so position that makes them much more easily accessible.

I found that I use the paddles a lot more now that I have upgraded...

Went for the MPR 'Frenchy' look

The MP Rezeau paddles seem to be even longer at the lower side than the Life110. Are they also closer to the steering wheel and more far-off the remote stalk?
ADM offers klick on paddles, way cheaper but the distance to the steering wheel/remote stalk is pretty much the same.

I found these two similar angles from Life110’s and MP Rezeau’s fitting videos:




As you can see, Life110’s paddles reach around the middle of the audio control stalk (i.e. roughly between “+” and “-“) while MP Rezeau's appear to go slightly lower than “-“.
There should be a 4cm difference, Life110 quotes “20mm longer top and bottom” while MP Rezeau states “2cm higher and 6cm lower”.

Distance between the paddles and audio control stalk seem to be similar.

Thanks for the pictures.

Considering to get the ADM "plug on" paddles. Also much longer top and bottom, but easier to install and way cheaper. Feedbacks I've read are all positive so far.

Just got my set of ADM paddles and coat hooks.



They fit very well and easy to install.

[k_m]

They look nice!

Would you be so kind and post a picture when fitted from the RH side, to see the spacing between the paddle, the steering wheel and the radio remote thingy. Thanks

There you go.

[k_m]

So they sit further away from the steering wheel and closer to the radio remote stalk compared to the Life110 and MP Rezeau paddles.
What is your impression when shifting?

[THP150]

Not had chance to have a drive with them on.

@THP150:

What's your impression meanwhile? Worth the upgrade?

[erics]

i have the same clip on paddles as THP150 and yes they are worth it. I much prefer having a solution that does not involve fitting different parts. They do exactly what i need from them which is finding paddles more easily during enthusiastic driving.

[THP150]

Sorry for the delay in coming back.

They are I think slightly bigger than the Life ones but have no issues in using them on a daily basis and do not interfere with the radio stalk, can't comment on track as I not done a track day. Plus they are of course the lazy option of increasing the paddle size, just clip and play.

Have look at the site there are number of options and pictures of the paddles on the car to give you an idea.

Can someone add a link to these please?

Was intending to go down the Life110 route but might give these a look if they’re that much cheaper

On some pictures it seems like the longer top leads to a disturbed view at the speedometer. Is that realy the case?

I have the Life paddles, much better IMHO. Car sounds good generally although better when in manual with paddles. Win win.

TX.

[THP150]

Just for comparison.

The Life paddles.



and the ADM version on my car.



So the ADM ones are longer then the Life ones.

[k_m]

Yep, that's what I meant. But are they indeed disturbing the view to the speedometer or is it just in the pictures because of the wide angle lens of the camera?

[THP150]

No issues in viewing either dial with them on.

[k_m]

Cool... gonna buy and give them a try
