New Paddle Shifters
Yes or no on the shifting paddles? I also got the silver paddles, same color as the original AMG paddle? Thought the OEM paddle shifters where a little too small for my liking.

I would say no; they seem like they are an add on in that color and maybe would interfere?

Yes, its a noticeable add on like the ones from Brabus that are like $800 ( don't quote me ) a set. They however don't interfere with anything and kinda like to look at it when at a light.

I understand that, but I don't understand how they make using the paddles any easier. If one is driving with their hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock, the paddles are at one's fingertips. The paddle could extend upward to the windshield and not be any easier to use than that which came from the factory.

If one drives the car with their hand at the 12 o'clock position while getting their lean on, I can see how the factory placement and length is less than ideal.
I get that they're a trinket and people want to differentiate their cars, but this one doesn't make sense from a practical perspective.
