MK3.5 cab or Mk4 cab?
« on: 10 March 2009, 12:14 »
Just a quick question hopefully!

Did VW ever make a true MK4 cab?  As far as i know they didn't and they are all MK3.5 with a few facelifted bits on?

I've got the chance of a steering wheel out of what is being described as a MK4 Cabriolet by a breaker near me but i think it will be a MK3.5??!

Help!

Correct, Mk4 front with Mk3 rear. No idea what the interior is though.

Which is something I want to do as well, the MK4 ones look so much nice than the MK3 ones.

kells, you say the interior lights up like what a MK4 does, is that what you based your lighting on?

i based my lighting on a mk 4 like my company car, the 3.5 is similar but the dials are no way as bright as mine and the switches are very very dim, i know this becsue i had a full set to start with and sold them on.. iv since managed to get a brightness which is perfect not too bright it blinds you but not too dim either :)

the blue/red is alot more upto date than the green
