Being playing with car in manual mode, and have been very impressed with the gearshift times. Far far better than the 8 speed box in my old X3.
Anyway, I find (just like the X3) that the paddle shifters are too small. Is there a renowned after market paddle shifters that people are fitting to their Macans?
I had some beautiful solid aluminium item on the X3 that completely changed changing gear with them. But 8 sped boxes are a complete pain.
Interested in pics, links, and costs. And did Porsche fit them for you?
Cheers
Extended paddle shifters

Think they're more of a thing in the US. No idea why

Porsche owners in the US seem generally much happier to modify their cars!

Design 911 do some.
No idea quality.
I tend to agree with Op...why are paddles so small. For example ones in Alfa stelvio are perfect, surely wouldn't cost Porsche that much to make paddles bit more "aesthetic".
It not just Porsche...it's most manufacturers

Granted, they are a bit small. Am just not sure I'd like something like this in my car though. It's all a bit Ferrari V12

How about these? I can do a set like this for £2.50, or with Porsche logos £250.

You have got them the wrong way around, red is on the port side. Best way to remember in future….red port is always left in the bottle.
