Just won the latest eBay auction for a set of these. An in-depth report from a ham-fisted ex-autocrosser coming soon.

The YouTube video makes the install look nearly effortless. Looking forward to it.

I just ordered a set from their website

Which website because those in the auction are a direct copy of gorgonian's. I found the link through a thread started on here directing people to that auction. Now the thread is gone and the auction says they're sold out all of a sudden.

Hey guys thanks for the info on the paddle shifters,they are the ones we do but I can't stop people reselling if they want to,they could have had there money back if they had asked I guess this guy wanted to make a few bucks.
Amir I hope you enjoy your paddle shifters when you get them fitted.

I'm just tired of shady people taking someone else's work and blatantly passing it off as their own. It's a major reason why more development never gets done and since these cars are getting older now, what's the incentive if someone with 100% positive feedback can rip you off?

Back on topic, these paddles are great! A bit more surface area to get ahold of whether you drive with your hands @ 10 & 2, or 8 & 4 like I do. Installl took about 10 minutes total because I was taking my time. They also look OEM.

thank you for the kind words and I am so happy you enjoy them,it's kinda funny,it only started out as a project for my own C55 but it's gone crazy,soon we will have the paddles ready for the CL,E AND S55 there is a guy out there with a set on his SLR but no photos yet.send some photos of car to our website so Michelle can put them in the hall of fame

Will do. The are so much easier to reach in about 99.9% of driving, feel solid and so far, everyone who has seen them think they're OEM. IMO, they're the perfect compromise of doing the c63 paddle swap and adding extensions. I'm super critical and haven't found fault with these yet.

gorgonian

FANTASTIC and be as critical as you like

gorgonian

the guy selling the aluminium paddle shifters is using my design and photos is breaching my design copyright and copyright on the photos which covers the US,he has been informed of his malpractice

Hi Gordon,

Thank you,

John

gorgonian

Hi John

Gordon, I ordered and installed your paddles a few weeks back. Removing the existing buttons was bit more challenging than I expected as the plastic feels like it could crack pretty easily. Definitely requires some finesse. Installation of your paddles was super easy as they click right in. Very happy with them. Great product!
