Hello Phaetonauten, I found out here in the forum that the retrofitting of shift paddles is easily possible. My current vehicle (V8, model 2015) had unfortunately no shift paddles, to which I had got used, especially on the highway, for unexcited driving (no hectic kickdown, engine brake from higher speeds) with the previous vehicle (same engine). My small, local VW dealer and also other larger VW dealerships hid their incompetence behind ground The last day at Rapacho (Mr. Perelka) had an assembly appointment. After plenty of an hour everything was done. Compared to the GM in Dresden and some VW car dealerships, Rapacho is the second winner in terms of elegance and design. Alone, who cares? – Being more than appearance, that is crucial.I have experienced Rapacho as highly competent, serious in handling and communication. The praises on Rapacho in the forum will be fulfilled. n rightly sung and I agree. In connection with the visit of some water castles in southern Münsterland and the best gastronomic accommodation in the hotel “Mutter Althoff” (Culinary remarkable!) in Vinum (Olfen) I spent a short holiday with my wife and happily returned to the sunny Palatinate with switchwinds. Thank you to the forum with the best regards GETIG
