No they don't as the cab is based on the mk3 not the mk4  :wink:

Not entirely helpful, but... I remember someone on here buying a convertible bonnet, wrapped it, to then find out that it was ever so slightly different to the hatchback :undecided:

So based on that, I'd imagine that at the very least, the wings would be different as well!

Nope completely different, the cabrio is a mk3 dressed to look like a mk4 but nothing fits a mk4.

Yeah Mk3.5 based on a mk3 looks like a mk4 ! The dash is a mk3 dash
