I was thinking of just the paddle bit... if the interior of the steering wheel is able to house the paddle itself if the fixation point is the same shape and size, then perhaps there is a way to hook it all up.

I dunno... I'll see. I just hope it's possible to get the paddles without getting a whole steering wheel.
