Yes they will fit but you need to remove the airbag and steering wheel to fit them as they replace the original paddles on steering wheel 

A non stick alternative

I have these in black & there so easy to fit, no cheap sticky tape or having to remove steering wheel, these just screw over the existing factory dsg paddles via a grub screw & they don't mark the factory paddles when removing either. So much easier now when changing gear from the bottom half of the steering wheel & very secure.

 

 

Thanks guys, much appreciated

Did anybody try these on their MK3 Octavia?? 

 

@Monty0881 on the Racingline website, paddle shifters are shown on the Mk3 Octavia product page however, when you view the item itself it doesn’t list the Octavia as a confirmed application (link below). It appears as if there are different part numbers for different VAG vehicles.

Hope that helps.

 

The wife is getting me the Leyo Motorsport ones for Christmas so I’m glad to read @BATVANVRS has got on well with them!

Still love these today  another one of those mods that are simple but effective especially in everyday aspects of using the car etc. Enjoy them

Over £100 for two tiny bits behind the steering wheel. Wow they know how to charge!

Yes but if you want quality then be prepared to spend? buy once & be done, buy the sticky ones from eBay & you will no doubt end up buying again. I purchased my Leno paddles from a member on here who was selling them, roughly half price ish but the quality & workmanship of these paddles are of top notch.

I just think they are expensive for what they are. I could almost buy two 340mm brake discs for that price.
