Just bought a 2011 Fabia mkII VRS. It doesn't have the paddles for the DSG. It's this normal!

I believe that is how they came in Ireland, but not in the UK.

Yeah I'm in Ireland. We get screwed here 🤷‍♂️

Optional upgrade in Ireland......They seen you's coming haha!

Yeah standard spec in Ireland is way less than UK. And they wonder why most people import! I got an amazing deal, so well happy. Hopefully no issues arise it's an early cave engine 🥴 loving the VRS.

You can pick the pre facelift steering wheel with the paddles for cheap enough these days, Not sure if it would needed coded in etc mind you.

Interesting, but I'll wait and see how reliable it is before I spend on modifications 🤣 keep the money for possible repairs, a little worried tbh

Not only in Ireland, in some other Continental European Countries.
