I reckon there is a real market opportunity for someone such as Mina Gallery to design and produce some top quality "heavy" paddles with a more precise switch feel, preferably with the + and - lights working.

The XK and XF crowds (exactly the same paddle shifters as on the F-Type) have been researching this for many years, and the only replacement paddles with a decent "heft" resulting in a more tactile feel that I have ever heard of were custom made one-off items. All the OEM ones of different materials and colours have the same flimsy/lightweight feel and the same with all the stick on extenders.

That being said, I only asked the F-type members of the forum. I'd be happy to partner with someone who had the resources to produce the product.

The paddles could be improved, but it sounds like it's the switches themselves. I liken it to the move to mechanical switch keyboards many people(mostly gamers) have made, many people like the feedback they provide.
Does anyone have any broken paddles? I bet we could find a replacement switch that could be modded in.
