Once there are 10 people committed to purchasing (which by this rate, should be some time before the morning), I'll send an email to the contact at S2TPP and they'll make a page on their site where VWwc members can place their own orders for these paddles. Since it takes 2 to 3 weeks for shipping, I'd say that people would have them in the next month.

You need to decide for yourself whether you're up to performing this work, but there is no requirement to tamper with the airbag. All you're doing is removing the horn/airbag cover on the steering wheel. If you're not sure you're capable of doing this, or if you're concerned about possible issues down the track (insurance or otherwise), you could pay an authorised VW workshop/specialist to do it for you. One member has even had his dealer agree to fit the paddles to their car prior to delivery!
