I've done this on my CL because I wanted my dash to look the same as a VR6.

I removed the glovebox and fitted a passenger airbag. Then purchased a lower glovebox at a later date. Both items fit fine!!

The only thing is, I don't have the passenger airbag connected up, because the plug isn't there for it behind the dash!!

I have a passenger airbag for sale if you need one. Hope that clutch cylinder is still going strong too!!

I'm not entirely sure mate you'd have to check.

I paid £20 for my airbag but I had to collect it! It's quite heavy so I'd say £25 posted :undecided:

Bit more than just plugging it in, your going to need the control module as well.

Not 100% sure the control module is not fitted to the airbag but down behind the center console (I think), again I am guessing but the dual airbag one will be different, even after fitting it will need turning on with vagcom.
