OEM rare parts
« on: 23 May 2011, 11:16 »
hi all

currently working on my new project mk3 colour concept, going down the oem rare parts theme. yeah i know not the cheapest theme

so i have sourced a few parts like climbtronic, the rear shelf speakers..........

i know about the us spec arm rest, and the jap import steering wheel, and i believe there is a henry loyd?? splitter??

is there any other little gems i have missed?

CD/cassete holder for the centre console storage hole, the cassette tape holder is rare, and the CD even rarer.

I guess you mean climate control panel, are you aware that it is major work to get that working and more than the panel is needed.

It will be a complete ballache to get it in and working, the dash has to come out etc, is it really worth it.  :undecided:
