Same steering wheel and speedo clocks as the GTI. I don't really like the center console but love those oil and turbo pressure gauges.

Yea I agree, those clocks would look good on a golf have more of a purpose then on a 1.4. The centre console is more like a mk5

That's because the Scirroco is from the Mk5 era. It's basically been facelifted to drag the old car out for a bit longer.

I had a white .:R follow me the other day. I can't say that it looked anything special. Only those that know will notice it, but I guess that's a good thing.

The Scirocco is in serious need of a complete redesign IMO, not just a facelift to stretch out the life of the current shape. People buy them in their droves though!

The colour clocks may be able to be retro fitted to mk7's in place of the poor ones already in.

He did piss passed be, but then again a diesel Passat Estate pootling along at 55mph doesn't take much overtaking.
