I have a RR Sport and haven’t noticed a difference, but I’m thinking the Title in the EBay auction “ Genuine Jaguar/Landrover Paddles” would indicate they are identical in size ? Jaguar and Range Rover share a lot of Parts. And yes, Red is a good color, but that’s just my opinion.

Looks very easy, dealer swapped mine on delivery.
They were £386 new !!
Just a bolt and an electrical connector.
These are the plastic ones that were removed...

i cancelled the order because i read that if you change the gear using only the top extension the microswitch don't work

so better the alu pad but very not bigger than the standard one

to answer your question, changing the physical paddles themselves wont improve anything except for aesthetics. a button is a button and it will perform exactly the same way whether its huge or little

Well yes and no.

They in no way make the shifts faster, but THEY DO make the paddles more functional do to having a larger surface area to grab. The top the bottom and even the sides extend the paddle further out. Whether it's daily driving or on the track, I can hit the paddle on turns better at all angles. (The only exception being the absolute top half inch of the paddle)

I don't know which paddles you have on your F-Type, but I did replace the plastic paddles on my 2013 XKR-S with the aluminum ones (same as malbec above). The size is an improvement, but also the stiffness of the switch. There are some details in my post here:

Just check on eBay or you can Google "Jaguar F Type paddle extensions". They are actually really cheap at around $50.

Should you really be shifting gears on track while turning?

In general no. But depending on the situation, the track, the speed, the turn, the position of the car in front or behind you, etc..yes at times it happens. It's not the same thing as shifting around a turn in a manual where it upsets the cars dynamic a lot more than a quickshift from a paddle.

Not if you are shifting smoothly. I've raced on a lot of tracks with decreasing and increasing radius turns requiring mid corner shifting. With a clutch, it's actually easier to avoid upsetting the balance of a car through the turn while shifting.
