Awesome Matt, nice tasteful mods there! Hey, did your motor come with the Winter Mode button? Or did you retro fit it... I've got one, but not wired up yet.
Cheers mate. Yeah mine came with the Winter Mode button. I know what it does but haven't a clue how it works haha. I heard that all the 170's did but how true that is I don't know. Mine is classed as an import for some reason though as its not a VWUK car.
Looks the b@llocks!
Top progress Matt.
Been hearing some very good things from CCT of recent.
Cheers lads. I had too plus a mate had his done down there. Its only the 140 and felt loads more eager than mine did. He was doing a money off deal for December so was rude not to jump on it.
Top work there fella, some nice touches, was the mk6 climate control just plug and play apart from coding?
Luckily mine wasn't too bad to do. I believe it is a minefield in regards finding the right panel that will work. It is plug and play but you have to swap 2 cables over so it keeps the memory after the ignition is turned off. You can get issues where the AC compressor doesn't start or cuts out after a few mins depending on panel/ecu combination. I tried 2 different panels, an ER and a BC which is the one I have settled for. Both worked fine but with the ER one being newer it would flag a 'missing messages' error. This is something to do with the way it communicates between the other modules in the car. The earlier BC panel doesn't flag this. The only one I get is an air quality sensor fault just because it isn't there but can be retrofitted at a later date.

Are these the xenon look lights still? What bulbs do you have in them (dipped), HID kit or halogen bulbs? What is the light output like?
I am on the look out for a GT and ideally want xenons but cannot find many specced with them, thinking this could be an option.
Car looks awesome 
Yeah they are. These are the Hella ones. Currently running a 4500K HIDS Direct kit for dipped beam. Light output is good but have never compared them with OEM xenon's. I was the same as you. Didn't seem to be many spec'd with them and were very few and far between.
Looks like Yellow FTP and Fog lights.
You are correct mate. Nokya Hyper Yellows in full beam and fogs plus fogs are Lamin-X'd aswell.
Love this car, keep it up buddy you must be well chuffed.
Did you speak to Shark about the issues you were having?
Thanks mate. Yeah very pleased with how it is currently. Still a few things on the to do list but getting there. TBH I didn't speak to them no. I personally didn't have an issue with them when I had it mapped but had always been a little underwhelmed with it from day one. Something I just lived with I guess. Plus after hearing from people who had had a few issues with them I thought I would make the change. I know its the same in the tuning world and every company won't please everyone all of the time but the one thing the gets my back up is when one firm slags off another. I don't think this is the way business should be done.
one of my fav cars on here..the colour of the car and black grill are perfect
Thanks Andy. I agree...but then I would
