W205 paddle shifter extensions

So i've been looking for paddle shifter extensions for my c300 with sport package and ran across a few online.

What I found:

1)The shifters for the non-sport and sport package are the same size, just different colors. I always thought that the sport ones were larger?
2) Many sellers online have no idea what product they're selling
3) The paddles that fit the w205 c300 are called "type C" paddles

I ordered a pair off of eBay, because that's the only place that had a nice set I was looking for. Many of them can be found, but the problem with all of the ones ive found so far is that they dont blend in very well and look too aftermarket.

I finally found one seller on eBay who advertised exactly what I wanted, so I bought it, but what I received wasn't what was advertised. I expected it to have a flush finish so the paddle and the extension are flat in the front, not looking like the extension is a "step back". So what I want to know now is if anyone has found anything that they're happy with, or found what i'm trying to find?

Also, am I just being too picky, or are these paddles way different than they should have been?

This probably doesn't make much sense so if you're confused, take a look at the picture I attached

I do not think you're being picky. It's not flush and looks like an add-on rather than having the advertised stock look. That sucks... too bad.

Brabus sells paddle shifters that replace the original shifters, so no stick on. They are not cheap tough.

The extensions just are going to get in the way when you're reaching for stalks
