Velocity AP Alloy Shifter Paddles -SOLD

Hi,

I bought a set of these when I was in the US on vacation in the summer with a view of getting Jaguar to fit them when I upgraded my steering wheel from round to flat bottomed. Unfortunately when they did the upgrade they would only fit genuine Jaguar items, which cost me £400

I therefore have these spare. They are lovely bits of engineering and should only take 30 minutes to fit without removing the wheel, I'm not that practical and therefore didn't want too attempt it myself.

There is a thread where they feature on the US forum, details of them and customers experiences are towards the end:

Velocity AP website details below:

I bought theses in the US to avoid the UK postage and import duties which were over $100

I am just looking to recover what I paid for them which was £169.59. I can provide the receipt.

They are new and still wrapped up tin the bag they were supplied in. As above, just looking to recover the £169.59 I paid.

please PM me with questions and for photos requests.

Thanks
Andrew

Andrew, if you want them fitted, I'll do it for you free of charge.
 
These look superb, had I still got my F-type I’d be picking them up for sure ... surprised no one jumped on these ... install is a doddle ... tiny Allen key with the wheel at 90’ and job done in minutes ... GLWS

Agreed, very easy to fit however originals have a torx bolt T20- not an Allen key.

Edited to correct torx size to T20.

Be careful with that as I used a T20 when I changed mine over and it's easy to chew them up if you aren't careful.

I do apologise. Yes it’s. T20. Also easy to damage them if you don’t insert the driver in perpendicular and also mine were very tight which didn’t help. I bought some spares off eBay (T20 torx (Pan head) M4 x 12 ).
 
tbh what put me off was the fitting..the stories of stripping torx head screws and on the us forums a few stories of probs with shifting due the tolerances
 
I still have these for sale and price lowered to £120

The thread seems ok. Most people are saying they would buy them again. The stripping the Torx screws would be an issue if you were heavy handed even swapping to OEM paddles like I have had fitted by the dealer.

No, I have the Jaguar Alloominum options fitted...I like the metal feel as opposed to plastic.
