If you mean the pictures in this thread of the bright silver square paddles on the multi-functional wheel, then I'm not sure why people keep saying that the picture is fake. I've just taken delivery of my new Cooper with CVT paddles last Saturday, and as far as I can tell theres nothing dodgy about the pictures at all!

The only thing I would say, is that maybe because of the camera angle (v close with a wide lense?), the paddles do look a bit bigger, brighter, more obtrusive, and generally much 'odder' in the picture than they really are.

I too had only seen the paddles in pictures before I took delivery and was a bit worried about how they'd look, but I'm really pleased with them now. I don't find I notice them at all, or that they look at all an after-thought, and they are actually really well placed to work with your thumbs and forefingers!

I might try posting my own pics when I can, but I've a horrible feeling that they will probably end up looking odd in my pictures too! :-)
