   we extended them on my mate 106 gti when he put his 4 branch on. we cut and soldered them like you said using wire i have in my garage. never had any problem with it either. its thicker than the normal wires tbh. but did the job. ill send some down to you with the rest off the stuff if you want

   It is better to cut and extend before the lambda plug, as it uses copper wire which solder takes to alot better than the wiring on the sensor itself.
