mikerd4 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Anyone able to tell me how easy is it to remove the paddles from the steering wheel on the S4? Im hoping there are a few screws holding them on and I wont have to split the steering wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Or it may be a genuine question I've got no idea how to change the flappy paddles on the S4 because mine's manual. You wouldn't have to split the steering wheel, apart from to unbolt the wheel itself, so you'll need to take the front cover off and MAKE SURE THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerd4 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 for those who ask why heres the annswer! On the e46 bmw smg the paddles can be removed and larger versions fitted. These are also available in brushed aluminium or carbon fibre! As for the lighting theres no need Ive measured the lamps myself - cheers Fook theres a negative bunch on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 haha. I would say pop the steering wheel off and have a look, I would suspect that there will be a couple of screws holding them in place just like on the E46. Just be careful no springs pop out.

Mook Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Fook theres a negative bunch on here [/ QUOTE ] Nah, they're just misunderstood Some people get modding a car for aesthetic appeal, some people don't. Personally, the only mods I do are to make the car go quicker, stop quicker or handle better, but each to their own. The last thing I want to do is the "grandmother/egg" routine, but if you'd said about the whole E46 M3 removable paddles and upgrade to ally, you probably would have got slightly less cynical responses Oh, hang on. I've got a confession. The reason I'm tagged on Tyresmoke as Chav Light Charlie is because of a rear light upgrade I did on my R32, so it's not all about making it go faster. But they did add at least 1.5 bhp to the total power on the Golf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerd4 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Im happy with the cars performance for now but times may change. The modified paddles will make using them a lot easier as the standard ones are veery stubby. Plus cf looks the part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 My "Why?" question was a genuine question of interest, I presumed you had some thing better up your sleeve, I had seen the upgraded paddles for BMW smg systems but never for Audi.

Mook Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Carbon fibre in small amounts looks the muts nuts. It took me ages to find my car, mainly because CF was one of the specific options I wanted. JC prefers burred walnut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maersk Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Check TT Forum as several have done it on there. Very few options available as replacements though. Two screws from behind the wheel if i remember. No need to disturb the bag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
