The prototype paddles have been sitting in California but Vadim has been so busy with cars that he hasnt had a chance to test fit them yet.

I am planning on going back down next week so I will try and get it wrapped up then.

So any other ETA that's updated?

Right now, until I get the fitment testing done and report back to the manufacturer, I wont know how long before they can deliver all the pieces we ordered.

I'll post updates again as soon as we get them test-fitted.

Would these carbon fiber ones fit on an E63 as a direct replacement to the stock ones or will I need to do some changes

vrus

I am heading down to California tomorrow night.. i will be there until Sunday.

I'll take care of the paddle fitment while I am there and see if we can move this project ahead..

Vadim has been really busy (as you can tell) so the paddles have been sitting for a while.

That would be great to get a ETA on the drop date for shipment on the anniversary of the paddles as it's been a year.

Perhaps you can do a Silver CF Paddle fitment to the Havoc's SL while you're down there...

Please... This is my first post back from probation and this is all I want.

So... Did your brother buy the Jag or what? SORRY I AM OFF TOPIC, but If my intuition serves me correct, Vadim will reveal paddles when good to go. So take a coffee break. Personally I think the 55's + - shift buttons do the job ok, but that’s just my opinion. Jaguar in the garage???

^ He hasn't gotten it yet, and I didnt mean to offend anybody with that thread. It's not that I think it's a BAD car, I just don't think it's worth more than 60k. I hate overpriced cars more than the poeple who buy them. The only other car company that I can think of right now that is doing people from behind without lube is Audi with the R8. Audi is one of my favorite car companies, but that thing should not be more than 100k, for gods sake, its more expensive than a 9997TT!!! But either way, like the P-whipped ********** that he is, he's only gonna get it if he gets married. Cause its what his gf wants. I dont understand how this happens to guys. Maybe Dr Phil can explain it to me... Thanks for asking though.

^ And its not that I think the Jag is ugly or anything, it looks like a nudered Aston.

Well.. after such a long wait .... We FINALLY have test fitted the paddles into a C55 that was at the shop.. They look pretty good and this particular car happens to have CF interior so they match great!

Now... Just need to decide how many CF and how many piano black to make...

Here are a few pics to tide you guys over.. Let me know what you think.

Victor...save me a spot!!!!!

Don't worry.. I talked to your wife... She added my name to your joint checking account so I can withdraw funds as new mods come out for your car... This way I dont have to bother you to wire me money anymore..

RW C55

any pictures of piano black?

AMGfan

Hey...I resemble that remark...

Chris-W

I dont have any CF in my car so im thinking piano black would look more suitable...

Ive also got a mercedes shop that does tuning and I was explaining to them that you had these and they were interested in buying a few sets..

Zod

I to want to see the piano black one on a wheel ( make is a cls wheel please)

supre55

I have full CF interior, and NEED these.

obsidian05e55

slowrey

I'm eagerly awaiting mine for my C55.....

Any news on Aluminum ones?

I just took my car out from winter storage, love to see some pics and get a set of the black ones. With all the posts I can't remember will the first version will fit an 05 SL55.

Waiting impatiently
