Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Has anybody fitted a paddle shift to there 996 tiptronic, I am not a big fan of the buttons on the front of the steering wheel and tend to drive it as a auto most of the time. I think if I had paddle shift I would use it manually much more. Curious to know if anybody has done it successfully? Could this be a good option: - http://www.tunersgroup.com/Online_Store/996_PS_GTC.html Thanks Sean

POST 2Original post

For info.... http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=815152&mpage=1&key=&#815152

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Great thanks, question is do it myself or go for the edition9...

POST 4Original post

Hi, I've booked my 996 into edition9, I've spoken to them and they say it should only take about 4hrs. Like you I just can't get used to the buttons and I think this is the best option for me. Also from the pics I've seen they look almost factory!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think I will do the same, may see you there! Cheers Sean

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well I went to Edition9 and had the flappy paddles fitted, excellent job and what a difference to the daft buttons

POST 8Original post

My car was there today, it should be getting dropped off soon can't wait!!!!!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They were going straight on to another after mine so I guess that was yours

POST 10Original post

It's a silver cab I should be getting it back any time now

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wasn't yours then I don't think, Are you Bristol based? If so they don't have it yet but expecting it

POST 12Original post

Well Andy from edition9 has just dropped my car off and the paddles look very good almost oem Just been out for a quick blast and they are really really good!! So glad I've had it done😄

POST 13Original post

Well I've had my car a couple of days now since having the paddles fitted id I have the say I'm using them all the time now and loving it! Before I had them fitted I'd just put it in drive and not use the buttons! Now I'm just using the paddles, can't recommend edition9 enough! They look like factory and feel like very high quality paddles top job and I would recommend them to anyone!!!!

POST 14Original post

Hi guys, does anyone know if edition9 is closed, the website doesnt work anymore /F

POST 15Original post

It worked when I tried it a few minutes ago. Why don't you fit the paddles yourself? I have just done them on my 996tt and it really wasn't that difficult. Paddles were £148 from local Mercedes dealer and a couple of hours with a Dremel. I had intended to use a manual steering wheel but couldn't find one in Boxter red so in the end converted my tiptronic wheel. I did actually buy a manual wheel in a mustard colour and was going to redo it the correct colour but too difficult and costly. I resprayed the tiptronic buttons to remove the symbols and disconnected them so only the paddles work. I cannot say how much this transforms the car like others have said. Don't really understand why this should be but my car feels quicker!!! I still have the manual wheel if anyone is interested.
