stalks
« on: 05 March 2009, 10:32 »
hi, just got my Mk2 GTI 8V

and was wondering if the stalks shouldn't be the same as my Mk2 Scirocco... long and thin, the ones that are one look fat as if they should be on a Mk3! ...also the dash switches are looking too late to be right, they rock up and down and its the the rounded full type, again, I'd have thought it tyhey would be more like the scirocco ones, small, sharp edged.

...sorry if this post makes no sence ...I'm getting a feelign of dayjavue... if I've already posted this please ignor!!!

Cheers, Jay.

mk2 dash, switches are different to rocco, and the stalks will be thin or chunky depending on the year (just like the MK2 scirocco in fact)

Heres my dash, but ignore stalks as they're MK3 items

if its a 90spec golf (hazard on column) then they wont fit, pre-90 with hazard switch on the dash then they will :)
the surround might need a little trimming but thats about it.

yeah that cd holder is one of my prised possesions, got it before everyone relised how 'rare' they are. someone selling one on ebay for over £100  :rolleyes:

+1. How did you do that?

Whats the switch/knob you've got above the headlight switch - is it headlight height adjustment?
