Your a sick sick child... & I thought it was called a reach around :P

To keep things on topic... From memory the paddle shift kits were approx $1100... Personally, it the best way to go. The standard shift buttons I think were a bit of an after thought in the pre-face lifted models.

Actually I quite like them. Means I can shift up/down with just one hand on the wheel :D

I've bitten the bullet and bought a MY 6 speed 3.0RB :D - no longer have to deal with making choices between the 2.0 GT and 2.5 GTB.

After trying out the McIntosh during the last week and having to endure OK but but not great SQ and a lack of iPod connectivity during a couple of long trips I will definitely be upgrading to a headunit by Alpine etc. Hopefully a quality headunit with DAB+ will come out soon.

Anyway, apart from the car itself :D one thing I've liked is the steering wheel controls.

Is is possible to link these controls to an aftermarket headunit?
