What are they made of?

 

They are made of aluminum.

@SmartMoney , after a little searching, I assume that this is the page you're referring to:

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...hifter-Extended-type-For-Porsche-Panamera-Macan-Cayenne/613687_32824381540.html

Correct?

Could you tell me a little bit about the installation? That is, do these fit over the stock paddles, or replace them (in which case what's involved in removing the stockers), that sort of thing? (I suppose it would help if I had an actual Macan to look at, but I don't. We're picking up our S at the Atlanta PEC in two weeks.)

(EDIT: just scrolled far enough down that page, to read the installation steps. You just place these over the stock paddles, and tighten the set screws, right?)

Thanks.

 

Yes, I just use the set screws. Can be a little tricky installing since the set screws are small, just take your time. I didn’t use the tape so they can be easily removed. They came with 2 different size screws (can be hard to tell), the shorter ones should go on the bottom. Set the screws in the paddles first to save time.

 

I believe they're just held inplace w/ 3M tape

 

Looks like could also be held in place with set screws.

 

Steering wheel cover looks good too!

 

Can also be had on AliExpress for $19.75 atm.

 

I also bought some paddle Shifter extensions on Ali Express, $40, aluminum color (available in a few different colors), look really nice and more subdued than these Savinis. Don't have the link but just search on Ali Express. Same quick delivery and good quality.

 

But not as well finished as the Savanini and not in the color I wanted, but most importantly Savanini use set screws.

 

Once you use the 3M tape to attach the paddles; and you don't like them - good luck getting them off!! Trust me I know. I almost ruined the OEM paddles on my S5

 

My thoughts exactly, either they don’t stay on or you’ll have a heck of a time getting them off.

 

I like the set screw idea. Does it chew into the original paddle though?
Smart money can you post a pic of these on your Macan please ? Wondering how big these are......most I see are too big for my taste.
Thx

 

The set screws on these are very small, about as thick as a toothpick. You don’t need to over tighten with 4 securing each paddle. The feel and look of them are top notch. Don’t be shy to ask seller for a small discount, just tell them you saw this on the forum.

 

I have the exact same ones. Love the finish

 

Looks great, and the best color for black interior imo.

 

But that Logo.. Ugggggh. I was interested until I saw how horrid their logo looks on the paddles.

 

Haha logo is not as bad as you think, I don’t mind at all.

 

That's the least of your worries, the steering wheels on the wrong side.

 

There is also a supported vendor here who has CF paddles, but they are crazy pricey.

As for your steering wheel cover, how is that affixed? Looks nice but a bit wrinkled, etc.

Paddles look good.

 

Just ordered a set in RED. Will post pics.

 

You guys need longer fingers.

 

Sorry but... paddles look like cheap aftermarket.

 

Paddles arrived today. I’ve added some pictures for anyone wanting a closer look.

I was hesitant about how the anodized red would look but I figured what the **** and ordered them anyway. Worst case is I could always re-sell them and order Dark gray or black ones if I hated them. They arrived and man do they ‘pop’. But it’s a nice red, not a cheap red and it does in fact complement the red interior. Be bold right?

Install Notes:
- Everything comes in the box you need. It’s very simple. Along with a crap sticker you’ll never use. No instructions but it’s self explanatory. The screws are ultra tiny so put them somewhere safe while installing.
- Definitely install ALL the tiny screws into the paddles FIRST before mounting to the stock paddles and then tightening.
- You definitely to not need any double sided tape. These are rock solid even when modestly tightening the screws. Much better than trying to get double sided tape off your paddles if you ever want to remove them.
- Whole operation takes just a few minutes per paddle. Not rocket science.

After installing them and standing back, they make the regular silver paddles look so boring. I’m happy with the install and the bold red grows on me every time I sit in the car. I personally think this is a kick ass ‘upgrade’ for circa $50 USD and the fact they come in more subtle colors - black, dark gray, silver means you can do the upgrade and probably nobody would notice. Yes the logo is prominent on the paddles but it doesn’t bother me. If you wanted to get the darker colored paddles it would be easy to paint the white logo in, especially on the black and hide it.

Hope this was of value!

 

Pics!

 

Has anyone tried the paddle shifter extensions on their macan? It initially looked like a good idea to me and might make it easier to access, but after looking closely I wonder if it significantly takes away from the clearance between the stock paddles and the turn signal and wiper stalks. I have the carbon fiber steering wheel and interior trim and I think the carbon fiber paddle extensions would go well and maybe make it easier to shift. Has anyone had good or bad experience with them?

 

On all the twisty roads by you in Lil' Swiss the paddle shifters probably become inaccessible when the wheel turns more than 90 degrees. Use the console shifter instead.

 

I have no experience with them but personally I wouldn't do it for the reasons you mentioned above as well as aesthetics. To each their own of course.

 

Have the red CF love em. Looks great and works even better

 

Me as well. No issues with them getting in the way of the stalks.

 

I also have CF interior and added CF paddles - looks great and much more functional. I use the paddles and drive in sport plus 100% of the time

 

Where did you find those paddles extender?

 

I appreciate this thread and the positive responses; I have been considering them and thinking about these very issues.
