Thet seats were about 130 or so - bought them with other stuff so got a good price. Dash was 60 for everything Seats are a straight fit in the front, rears need a little work. Dash swap is a bit of a pain, more time consuming than hard really, to get it lookin factory.
i think the dash will be my next mod then. that is a bargain at 60. will i need to do much cutting to get it to fit? roughly how long did it take you?
A lot of cutting, a few nrackets made up, an bit of electrical jiggery pokery, a lot of trial fitting. Spent christ knwos how many hours on it. There is a thread about it if you search.
You much be spending some serious cash on that car!! its looking fantastic now though, will look awesome when you get the get the interior re-trimmed in Black Half leather with Silver/Grey Alacantara centres!! will be very very jealous then! & a 1.8T conversion too!!
Looks cool in silver. Always a wicked colour because it doesn't fade and it hides scratches and paint chips. I personally h8 the MK3 dash and would have kept the MK2 one myself but you can see you've spent the time putting it in. Like the Corrado seat conversion though that looks wicked!
a plethora of style, taste and probbably money.. v nice, big thumb s up mate, wish my mk2 looked like that
Cheers Its cost me a fair bit yeah, but all the work has been done myself, lots and lots of hours spent - but everyone been enjoyable. Still ongoing aswell - just today i fitted some eibach antiroll bars to it - so it's gettin better and beter
i have only ever had silver cars until now... had to buy run about, so got cheap mk2 will get some pics but dont think its up to usual mk2 standards set here on forum!!!! wheels are very nice, what are they? i said i would use golf as run about and run into ground, but its growing on me and nevr been able to leave cars std so will play it by ear, buying first house has crippled us really badly. unsure whether to throw some cash at car, will get some pics but cant expect too much for 700 notes, if i do i am thinking spending a little, new wheels, small drop and new shocks as stds have seen better days. respray, fit big bumpers better, remove small rust on tailgate, then maybe new engine, 2.0 lt 8v... or maybe something bit different... been pleased with it so far and has respondedwell to a bit of tlc... also responded well to a kick the other night, could not get it running right... i had leads in wrong order, need kicking myself. good luck with car, big favourite of silver, may be asking sytling advise... need std mirrors in red!!!, these crappy m3 style ones are poo on mine...
Yeah 8" wide, with a 195 tyre stretched on, looks cool as feck! Nogrille - i doubt the location is familiar, cos its Yesnaby in orkney!
Have you driven it with the eibachs yet andy? what like? I say stick with the smoked rears.... dark and silver looks the dogs...
Done about 5 miles with them, all i can say is WOW Feckin awesome, it was soakin wet, but i could still cornere like mad - cant wai to get a dry day!
Even with w*** suspension and 15x7s my car sticks to the road like glue. Roundabouts at 40+, yeah please. Looking ace, Andy. Not big on silver cars at all but I'll make an exception for such a nice job. Tom
