Same here, first thing I did to mine was replace the black plastic ashtray lid for a silver one from an early GTI. Does brighten up the area a treat  :wink:

Yeah I would have liked a silver ashtray cover for mine but the previous owner stole it! :laugh:

I like that. I might talk my dad into it yet... Maybe start modding his Pajero again  :evil:

I must admit the dash is very dull. Our car does not have the silver lining on the radio. So its a all grey  :undecided:

go on, how much then?  :rolleyes:

...I was just about to ask if a forum member was handy with a spray gun

Those stainless steel ashtrays from early GTi’s are like gold dust you'll only get one from a breakers yard these days as they were discontinued, so you were lucky.
