Stock paddle shift upgrades ?

550Reasons · 11-15-2016, 01:52 PM

Hey guys, I have the stock pre-lci paddle shifters and I love using them, I use them quite a bit.
I recently drove my friends Range Rover and her paddles were a big longer and felt way better. Is there an upgrade for ours ? to make them maybe a bit longer or something ?

Meh, not a fan of the add-on. If there was a full replacement I would consider that.

Yeah it's surprising there aren't any aftermarket solutions for a complete replacement. Those paddles are on multiple models right?

Are you sure those were her "paddles" that felt way better?

But seriously, you might be able to switch to the M5 shift paddles which are slightly longer.

If I'm not mistaken I saw a thread on here where a guy installed the m5/m6 paddles on pre lci steering wheel I'll try to find the thread

If you read the thread, Igor said they m6 paddles didn't fit after all?

Of course they didn't fit, he tried to put them on the wrong steering wheel I'd presume, being his car is pre-lci.

A requisite to using the M5/M6 paddles is the LCI steering wheel posted above.
