Hello !
I have tested the paddles driving my car.
The problem is that with so nice paddles you wont look anymore the road, you will always look your paddles !
No...seriously..the paddles arrived already drilled and even if mine are the prototype (not yet perfect), they were already drilled I fitted perfectly.
Im ready to make a batch and will certainly, I have some frenc friends ready to buy them.
I have a little modification to do (the angle of the left one ) and to make the "up" and "down" writing on the paddles.
So if you are interested I could do like we did for the spoilers, I can organize a group buy with a small deposit of 15 euros.

The final friend price for 5 pairs ordered could be 240 euros+shippings.
Tell me !!
Nico

 

[DaveT]

Certainly interested in a set if we can get a group of people together.

 

[ahvlanico]

I let you talk about it to your friends !

Lets go:
Grouped order for 5 sets

Nico,
Do the paddles get in the way of operating lights and wiper controls whilst driving, the lower extended section looks to be in front of these controls.? How did you find it driving your car, did they get in the way of the other controls..??
Is the price of 240 Euros for each set, or for the 5 sets..??
Cheers
R

Yes all the controls are OK the light s and turn signal. On the prototype the left paddle is a bit too close but don't touch .
I will make a video in a few minutes.the price is for a pair

We must make a new mould so the left paddle will be modified be cause it is to close to the wiper control (even if it dont touch)

 

[ahvlanico]

With the spoiler the agreement was:


If you wish to order you send me a deposit of 15euros.
This deposit is refunded if I m not able to give you what you ordered .
The shippings costs are not included.

Here are the possibilities:
vernished spray can be brilliant or sheen ( im not sure of the translation)
possibility to add in the vernish glitters blue red green gold silver
the text +/- or up down can be red or white
possible to make it in colored carbone: blue green red and too in fibralu (aloy color)

David: deposit received.

I do prefer the profile of the Formula Dynamics paddles, but not the price!
I can't imagine any patent on the profile...

 

[BennyD]

I do like them, but as you say not the price.

 

[CatmanV2]

I'd love a set, but simply can't justify it until I find a better paid job.

BTW ahvlanico I suspect the word you're looking for is 'satin' Not too brilliant a shine, but not no shine at all?

[ahvlanico]

ok thanks for the translation !!
Dont worry I keep the mould and even if it is later you only have to call me !

 

[CatmanV2]

Deal!
