Hi people

Just a quickie to get the ball rolling.......is there any difference in the dashboard undertays between a GTI,and non GTI??.I've accuired a GTI centre console,with the 3 gauge holes,with the intention of fitting it in my '83 1.1c....which has what i thought were the same "3 opening" undertrays as the GTI's i've seen.....but it does'nt want to fit,it seems to sit at least 30mm to far into the car,leaving a big old gap at the top!!
Am i missing something?? ......are there any variations in the undertrays?,or consoles?.....or mounting plates in the floorpan round gearstick?.....It could be butchered to fit,but i'm loathed to 'cos it should'nt need it......should it??

Any help,advice....or general abuse for being so thick will be greatley appreciated

I know that in 1982 the dashboard was upgraded, almost certainly to the type that you describe. I suspect the console that you have was fitted to the earlier style, with the under-shelf either side.
I'm not at home at the moment so I can't double check by looking at my one.
