Have spotted a few mk2 dashboards like this and wondered if it was a factory thing on some models or just DIY? 16v thing perhaps?

Can't decide if it's cool or sh*t :lipsrsealed:

My mates dads 16valve use to have the red strip but everyone els with gti's are 8valves and there's are silver.
-
I like it. Proper 80's retro. :cool:
If you DIY it then don't like it, it's only cost you a roll of tape.

I think it it looks awesome, in a MG Montego sort of way :rolleyes:

I may be wrong but always thought US spec GTI's had the red stripe dash (hence the left hand drive in those pics).
I quite like it. :smiley:

Someone was asking about painting the red on and i made the suggestion of a bit of red coachline tape. I think it looks good and was thinking of doing this to mine.
As for it being cool like a Montego :grin: Come on Thom, the word cool and Montego have never been used in the same sentance :grin:

You didn't think that I actually meant that did you? :grin: Montego's suck!, so does the red stripe!
VW's should be simple, and restrained, doing stuff like that to your Golf is the start of the slippery slope :evil:
Just my opinion...

Its the US spec, not sure if its GTi or the GLi though. I asked about this about five years ago, thought i might be able to find one, but couldnt. I stuck some tape on to see if i liked it, but have taken it off now, as you could see the creases and things. Would look good if painted in the correct shade i think. I also went over the top and painted the heater vent arrows, which i dont think helped!
Not the best picture, but i think you see what i mean:

You need to warm the tape with a hair dryer or something to shape it around the corners. I taped over my pink stripe in the front bumper of my previous small bumper car, and it looked bang on.
