Racingline DSG Paddle Shifters for Volkswagen
Upgrade the way you interact with your car every time you drive. The Racingline DSG Paddle Shifters replace the standard plastic paddles behind your Volkswagen steering wheel with precision CNC-machined billet aluminium blades, giving both a premium feel and a more practical shape for spirited driving.
Available in two finishes to suit your interior:
- Midnight Black – part number VWR49G700
- Titanium Silver – part number VWR49G701
What These Paddles Improve
The standard DSG paddles fitted to many VW models are small and made from lightweight plastic. Racingline’s replacements address this with a longer, cleanly machined blade that extends both above and below the steering wheel spokes. The result is a paddle you can reach mid-corner, even when your hands are away from the 9 and 3 positions during tight turns or quick lane changes.
The aluminium construction gives a cool, tactile feel under the fingertips, and each blade is finished with neatly cut + and – symbols on the top face for a factory-quality look.
Key Benefits
- CNC-machined billet aluminium for a solid, weighty feel
- Extended reach above and below the spokes for easier mid-corner shifts
- Anodised finish in Midnight Black or Titanium Silver
- Direct replacement using the existing OEM mounting points
- Subtle upgrade that lifts the look of the cabin without being over the top
Vehicle Fitment
These paddles are designed for Volkswagen steering wheels fitted with the standard DSG paddle layout, covering popular MQB-based models including:

Important: Fitment depends on the specific steering wheel installed in your car, not just the model. Before ordering, check that your existing DSG paddles match the shape shown in the product images, and use our vehicle lookup or the Vehicle Fitment tab to confirm compatibility.
Installation
Fitting is straightforward and uses the original paddle mounting points behind the steering wheel. No coding or modification to the car’s electronics is required, the new paddles simply take the place of the originals.
Applications
Please note, customers are wholly responsible for checking fitment for their vehicle.
