Paddle Shifter Upgrade

Hi everyone! I recently picked up a 2016 Cooper S with the Sport Auto Trans but I find the paddles to be really cheap feeling ( which is odd because the rest of the interior has excellent build quality). I've been looking at some options for full replacement paddles ( not the ugly stick on ones) and was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations? I've also seen online that some have been using BMW M car paddles. Looking at the photos of these, the attachment points look identical to the Mini ones but just wondering if anyone has any experience with that?

Thank you!

I got these glossy CF paddles and I really like the look and feel of them versus the stock ones.

Oh sorry about that...I got it from smps2012.com. It is a UK site and I have ordered a bunch of stuff from there with no issues. Killallchrome is also a good site to check as well.
Cheers
