Without opening Im not sure, but examining through the packaging they look like anodized as you can see the brushed grain in the aluminum. :drool:

any pics of the new paddles fitted? ;)
I will comment on Karbonkids service. He initially sent me some paddles but unfortunately a dyslexic moment saw them sent to the wrong address. After giving Royal Fail a chance to work out where they were really for, KK was only too happy to send a new set while we waited to see if Royal Fail could manage to get them to me. They arrived the next day exactly as expected. The man is honest and a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately my hectic life hasn't seen me fit them yet however I WILL get them on this weekend before my trip to France. They are gorgeous looking!
Thanks KK for sorting me out. It's nice to deal with someone honest and professional.
Regards,
Jeff

Fitted mine today

I fitted the black metal ones and they are very nice :thumbs: Cool CNC'd ally on the fingertips :smokin:
Just one thing to be careful of re fitment: there is a very small white plastic bit inside the steering wheel that is slightly loose when you remove the original paddles. When inserting the new paddles, be careful to not 'crunch' the plastic bits, and instead use a small screwdriver to move them to the side of the paddle extrusion being inserted.

KK paddles arrived yesterday mate , quality service ... thats the good news ... and be assured, the rest of the post places NO blame on your good self whatsoever, but thought I would share so that others MAY not have same problem.
Firstly instructions say use a T-20 , when mine were T-15, no big issue that.
Secondly, when I went to replace the screw, I turned it in, and without thinking , was transfixed on the fact that there was a big gap under the screw head .... there is meant to be !!!:banghead: ...too late, another quarter turn and the screw sheared off ! All becomes clear when you look at both paddles, the OEM ones have a sort of shroud in the moulding so that you cant see the head sticking up, it appears as though flush, the CF ones dont have this, so all those who fitted them in under the 5 minute guideleine without damage well done and a pat on the back,:thumbs: we are currently approx 35 mins into mine and not a new paddle fitted in site !:bigcry: Just drilling the remains of the screw out, and if we fook that up, will shall be left with no alternative than to drill a clearance hole thro and wack a good old fashioned nut and a bolt thro it !!:blalalala:
Further to original post, I maybe wasnt as stupid as first indicated, as on fitting the second paddle, the screw went in fine, albeit the screw head is still approx. 1 mm off, however, the other screw sheared well before it should have done, and didnt bottom out as I first thought ! , have just drilled it out now, so going for the "nut & bolt" solution !
May have a go at tapping it out to 4mm and fitting a proper screw later !

I can assure you it's entirely possible and quite easy to shear off the screw when refitting a standard SMG paddle :bigcry::bigcry::bigcry: although fortunately I was fitting a new switch assembly at the time, so I had a spare housing to reuse without having to resort to drilling the thread out.
