Went to Sherborne castle car show. Where else can you find a £2m Aston Martin Valkyrie parked in the same bit of field 😁.

And being road legal, it didn't have a problem driving across the field to get onto the tarmac for a parade around the castle grounds (probably why it's called a splitter 😉).

Nice!

How do they feel?
Was it easy to swap them over?
Initial thoughts after 1 day are that the shift action feels more tactile than the bronze ones and the *click* is more audible which adds to the feeling. Also like that they're slightly cooler to the touch than the plastic ones. They're also taller than the plastic ones and it makes it easier (and a bit more fun to shift) from a higher position.

However, it's no Ferrari paddle and there's still a bit of a plastic *click* rather than a metallic *tink* presumably because the base that the paddle is mounted on that holds the screw hole & wiring is still a plastic cover.

Fitting is pretty straightforward. Should be a 10 min job although it took me 30 because I was being lazy and kept the steering wheel in the straight-ahead, neutral position.

I'd recommend using a ratchet tool because you'll need a bit of leverage to unscrew the screws. I purchased this Bosch kit from amazon during the prime day sales and it did the job perfectly: https://amzn.eu/d/0c0YdKKr

Picked up the paddles for £150 on ebay with a discount code but you should find pairs listed as New for £170 - £200. I believe the price that Jaguar would sell this at is around £400! I would be feeling ripped off at that price but at £150-200 I'd say it's a worthy upgrade.

Hope that helps!
£150!!

I got my aluminium ones supplied and fitted by Jaguar for £136.00.

Seems like the prices finally have come down to more reasonable levels. One of the reasons to why I got my custom made ones 8 years ago was that the JLR ones were so ridiculously priced at something like 300 quid.

Photos to come tomorrow.

Details:

MY19 Caldera Red P340 (3.0 V6) RWD Coupe (no sun roof).

Aside from how it drives, it may be the prettiest thing I've ever brought.

I would be relatively happy to just sit in a chair and oggle it.

(Also, I wouldn't recommend driving Guildford to Yorkshire - constant roadworks and traffic. Up on to the moors tomorrow to really try it out)

Weather is decent so enjoy it! I bought mine on Boxing Day and had wait about 3 months to get a real feel of the car's capabilities.

It might be a bit far for you but Snake Pass is (A628) a brilliant road then up to Holme Moss and into Meltham, Huddersfield. I do this route a few times per month on the way home.
