Volkswagen MK7/7.5, GTI/R Magnetic Paddle Shifters

Volkswagen MK7/7.5, GTI/R Magnetic Paddle Shifters

Replace the small plastic paddles behind your Golf’s steering wheel with these 50mm Magnetic Carbon Fibre Paddle Shifters, a full replacement pair that extends reach and swaps the factory click for a crisp magnetic action.

Each paddle is carbon fibre over an alloy carrier, using a magnetic sensor in place of the standard mechanical switch. The result is a lighter, faster pull with no perceptible travel — the same principle used on modern race and supercar shifters.

They are supplied as a complete kit with the mounting hardware and tools needed to fit them, and no coding or wiring changes are required.

Key Features

Magnetic Shift Action

A magnetic sensor replaces the factory mechanical switch, giving an immediate, near-zero-travel pull.

50mm Extended Reach

Far larger than the standard paddles, so a shift can be made without taking a hand off the rim.

Carbon Fibre Construction

Carbon fibre over an alloy carrier, so the paddles stay rigid and light under repeated use.

Complete Bolt-On Kit

Supplied with mounting hardware and the hex keys needed to fit them.

No Coding Required

Plugs into the existing paddle connector. No wiring changes and no software work.

Performance Benefits

Faster, More Precise Shifts

Magnetic actuation removes the dead travel in the standard switch, so the shift registers the instant you pull.

Touched on Every Drive

The paddles are handled constantly, so the upgrade is felt as well as seen.

Reach Without Repositioning

The extended length means a downshift mid-corner does not require moving your hands.

Completes the Cabin

Pairs directly with a carbon steering wheel and interior trim for a matched interior.

Please Note

Professional installation is strongly recommended.

The factory paddles are unclipped and removed. Take care not to damage the wiring connector during removal.

Minor preparation, alignment or adjustment may be required during installation to achieve optimal fitment.

Due to the nature of carbon-fibre manufacturing, slight variations in weave pattern may occur between products.
