The heater controls are the ones everyone gets from eBay. I got mine from a seller in China but don't think he's still active.

The vents are from a 8V chassis Audi A3 I believe.
You won't lose any noticeable power from the fan, if anything they are better as they direct the air in a much superior fashion to the original Caddy vents.

Oops, sorry! Was reading quickly and thought it was the dials you wanted to know. The vents are Audi A3 8V (the latest) as Doc says. They fit ok - had to trim the squared off bottom part of the opening in the dash. I haven't quite worked out how to connect up to the existing duct and so although they focus the air better than stock, the middle ones whistle like crazy.

Fitted foglights and led in the fogs and parking light. Got some 17" wheels(paid £20 for them, need refurbishment) and I also tinted my windows 35%.

-Waiting for the last bits for the front end conversion and lowering kit.

My Caddy is LHD

Well...First you need new door control modules. I used those with 3C0959793C (Driver) and 3C0959792C (passenger) - they are 4th gen modules with long coding and adaptation features. Motors from Caddy doesn't work properly with those modules (different mounting and they behave strange IMHO)
If you want folding on remote you need to do this in ADAPTATION in VCDS (Driver Control Module). You can search the net or ask me. It's a strange parameter I don't remember at the moment.

Part numbers for mirrors? hmmm... I've bought them as a test mirrors. Full set. I can give you Part Numbers but buying this from VW is ridiculously expensive. I can look for them in Poland if you want (IMO you only need to buy mirror glass for RHD - I think this is the only different). I paid 300 pounds for both.
I also made them puddle lighted (thanks to @tommyzoom) BUT the bottom part of the mirror is not flat so LED GOLF7 puddle lights are ok but they don't fit so perfectly like in old mirrors.

and now KNOWN ISSUES;)

I don't know how it is possible but my modules (seller said LHD modules) make my windows close when open and open when close. When I change coding to RHD switch works fine, but it cannot be this way;) So ... at this very moment I've got 4 different modules and am still looking for the right ones. I was trying to rotate the stator to change polarity but it doesn't make the motor to work properly. Well, switch works fine (UP is UP, DOWN is DOWN) but I cannot make them auto close and auto open.

@MartyPL I'm from Holland so I think we both have the steering wheel on the left side ;)
Unless LHD stands for the side on the road you're driving :)

Mainland Europe has RHT (right hand traffic) with LHD (left hand drive) vehicles and the UK has LHT with RHD vehicles.

So ... Yes. My steering wheel is on the left side and that's what LHD means:) or maybe it means where the driver seat is;) Doesn't matter. We are LHD;)
