Possible to retrofit in a 996 carrera

[Giorginetto]

I wonder if its possible to retrofit in my 2004 996 C2 Tiptronic F1/ like SMGII paddles behind the steering wheel, i wonder if thee can be retrofitted withiut having to replace the steering wheel? Anyone knows about such a retrofit if possible and where it can be found ? I would imagine from a technical perspective two paddles connected to the tiptronic switches shouldnt be very complicated

I remember reading about a company who sold aftermarket paddle shifter set for the 996 or 997 tiptronic... so it might exist, but sorry I'm short on the details or links.

Speedart has one steering wheel with paddles for the 996 , in leather looks very impressive. Total cost inc postage is 2800euros.....

I recall seeing a steering column adaptor made by an AUSTRALIAN Company which provide this kind of modification. Price is about USD1000. It goes under the steering wheel.

Someone I met at a recent Autocross event had one with the paddle shifters on his Tiptronic 996tt and said he loves it. The right paddle upshifts and the left paddle downshifts. He paid 875 euro (about US $1500 at the time) for it, Airbag included. Be careful when pricing steering wheels because many quote prices that don't include the airbag. He also said that it was easy dealing with the company even though they are in Belgium.
