Yeah, the dials are MK3 dials but just illuminate blue. Bit of a shame, I thought it would be MK3 shape but MK4 style. Dash is the MK3 but a little more modern texture. I want to get a dash from a cabrio, or just cut down a MK4 to fit.

I saw one yesterday as there is traffic lights on our hill. Guy saw me staring and asked what I was looking at LOL.

Yup so not as heavy as the MK4 tank.

Got the aggressive look at the front though, and the better MK3 look at the rear, IMO.

best do some bodging and modify a mk4 wheel to fit  :wink: (them 3.5 wheels are rare!! hence the silly prices)
Yes that was my plan too but when you can buy one that will fit straight on for the same price as a normal MK4 one why bother  :cool:

They obviously don't realise what they have  :wink: LOL

Yeah but that would mean removing the airbag all together, not something i want to do having been involved in a fatal crash a few years back......

The Crash wasn't my fault but had the car i was driving not have had an airbag i would have been much more seriously hurt  :shocked:

Yeah I agree with you there man, need an airbag or it could be fatal. That's one reason I refuse to change my wheel atm.

So how did we manage years ago without airbags.

Some of us died, some of us were seriously injured, some of us were lucky, some of us weren't so lucky.
