Installing MK8 Golf R Paddles on a MK8 GTI

What a difference that makes. Looks so much better. Thanks for the vid.

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Feels much better too.

I'm just about to do this on my GTI Clubsport and this video was so useful. Thanks!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Makes a great difference. I bought some aftermarket clip on type first and they were rubbish, they kept falling off. This is such an OEM upgrade with a great feel.

[@Alex-wl1je]

@DownShiftThrottle fitted them on my lunch break today and they look so much better than the buttons it had before! Glad I went down the Ebay route and picked some up for £70 rather than the £250+ VW were asking for!

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Brilliant! Yes if you can get the OEM ones from eBay then great! Nice easy upgrade making a big difference!

Hi a very useful video, i just bought big paddles for my cupra but im wondering if is safe to unplug the airbag without disconnecting the battery

[@DownShiftThrottle]

Should be safe, I did without disconnecting battery. I hold no responsibility if your airbag goes off though lol

[@Rey-rt3bs]

@@DownShiftThrottle ahhaahah thanks a lot

[@MstrJackhaley]

where did you order them from? got a link?

[@DownShiftThrottle]

I got them from eBay....the part numbers are in the description so use them to search

[@ATLANTICMUSICHQ]

Im planning on doing this. Do you think it’s worth it to disconnect the battery? Is it really that dangerous to do it without disconnecting it? Thanks a lot

[@DownShiftThrottle]

You should really disconnect the battery but won't be able to turn the steering to get to the holes behind the steering wheel

[@hovan2yourjunk]

@@DownShiftThrottleI just did it…disconnected the battery, reconnected every time to turn the steering wheel to access the 3 airbag clips. Be ready to have a ton of errors when you’re done. A bunch of codes will have to be cleared with a scanner…

[@DownShiftThrottle]

More reason not to disconnect the battery then

[@ashtonmuise8387]

Do they illuminate at night?

[@FelipeFriozi]

i want those too.. any luck?

[@dawoods7572]

What spoiler is that?
