Paddle Shifter Extensions?
Can anyone recommend Paddle Shifter Extensions for 2018 C63s Amg Coupe? Also, are the sedan and coupe paddles the same? I found these paddle shifters, but they're only for the sedan.

Honestly? For 50 USD you want to go with Ali Express?
Buy the autotecnik ones on vivid racing for a couple more bucks and have more OEM looking solution
They are not extenders, they are longer paddles. IMHO it looks a lot better and also feels premium like the Cars we own

I bought a set for my Audi and I didn't like them ...they looked better in the pictures and they use set screws to secure them and if you tighten slightly they will mark the paddles which is super annoying if you decide to remove them later

C63 Amg coupe 2018
I recently picked up some carbon fiber paddles and a carbon push start button. The paddles are from T-carbon off amazon. The quality is great they feel good as long as you don't try and pull them at the very top or bottom as they are only 3m taped to the back of my OEM paddles. Im pretty happy. The quality is there however if u want that factory big paddle feeling you get in say a Huracan. Your Gonna want some direct replacements not stick ons.

I have the Autotecnick paddles and they are as amazing as they look. Incredible build quality and detailed instructions for installation.
Took me around 35 minutes to do it.
1) disconnect battery
2) remove airbag
3) remove trim around airbag
4) remove OEM paddles - keep the little tabs that are holding it in place for installation on new paddles.
5) replace with new paddles
Put everything back together

I lucky if I am capable of filling up a tank and putting air in my tire. I occasionally look under the hood to pretend I know what I am doing as well.
If I did what you suggest I wouldnt have steering wheel on my car lol.

Would you know if they would work on a AMG C43 ? I would presume so?

As far as fitting the re-badged C450, I'm not sure. Maybe only works with real AMGs? Maybe works, maybe it doesn't, better check with Autotecnick.
