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.

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.

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.

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.

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..
