That, and the positioning of the down shift is very awkward. If you're worried about not being able to downshift while turning, you can buy paddle extenders quite cheaply.Hunter wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 1:14 pmIve also had both and prefer the one side for up and one for down. I think its more intuitive and the originals seemed to be set the wrong way around anyway.....Busterboo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 11:28 am
Do you really want to go from (1) change up & down on each side to (2) change down on the left & up on the right?
With (1) you can change up or down with either hand, which is convenient and efficient. With (2) on a twisty road, you can find yourself struggling.
I've had both on different cars and, for me, (1) is much better.

Oops, I read that the wrong way around That's what you get when you rush a reply whilst you're working! Mine is the face-lift version, so came as left=down & right=up and prefer that to the push/pull either side option. So, no I'm happy staying as I am & not looking to swap to the other paddles, I just wanted to know how to get them off the wheel
