Paddle shift kits - VXR8

[Janosh]

Has anyone fitted one? Was it worth it??

Have seen some kits in Oz: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Paddle-Shifter-Kit-for-...

The shift is pretty slow (even with the Wortec 'box remap) so I'm wondering whether fitting the paddles would make b road driving a little more rewarding?

S800VXR did it on his. Be aware though that it doesn't change the speed of the shift though. Just puts the controls in a more useful place.

Granby also fitted them to his VXR8 that I bought off him.

as Rogers says, doesn't change speed of shifts but its a better way to change than in manual mode. feels more intuitivea and pedals have niced feel

probably a link somewhere on here

Cheers - I knew I'd seen the conversion somewhere! I'll do a few more miles and see how I gel with the auto...

That carbon facia / dash surround also looks bloody good

Damn this forum

I don't know if it's how the ones above were done but those pieces are pretty easy to wrap yourself if you want to change the look.
