Well they are in the USA 04 owners manual but when I called my MA to ask he denied knowledge of them today he called back and said the car would need to be resubmited for aproval to the feds if they were installed...and they are in the manual for the use of canada which gets them and uses the same manual... Bummer... but if I can not get paddles for a reasonable price say $300 to $400 extra then I guess I will get a Cooper S... in the UK the paddles add £75 to the CVT price I think... and it looks like using the aftermarket guy in LA costs about $1000 by the time you are done and it voids your warranty

Need to decide by this tue at the latest to keep my late march build slot arggg
