The fronts should fit right in, but we think we'll need to get the rear bench re-worked to fit the mk4 bench.




 :cool:

It's back into the body shop for some other mods, i'll get some progress pics up as soon as!

oh no no, i had planned on taking it to transcal and having a pro do it!

as it is they are using the audi half leather and alkantara fabrics to recover my mk4 rear bench! so it all matches nicely!

Just need to sort out this MAP sensor flange for my FMIC  :huh: it's sickening having it sitting in my living room and cant get it on the car!!  :laugh:

Living room  :grin: :grin:

My wife would be having kittens, she went mad when I had my e30 leather interior in the kitchen...   :grin: :grin:

Though, I did bring it home when she had about 20 friends arriving for her Ann Summers party  :grin: :grin: :grin:

FMIC - ?? - sorry newbie

Very nice car mate, love the smoothed look you have going on without loosing the rub strip's which IMO ruins the look of the golf, and makes it very impractical and prone to crack and look sh!te  :cool:

Wouldn't mind a vortex front on mine but my wallet doesn't agree with me for some reason  :sad:
