    The other option is a Mk2 dash, again you need it all complete and need to shave a tiny bit off the front edge.

    Here is a pic of my old Mk1 16v with the Mk2 Dash in.

    It is nice, but I don't think that look is compatible with Mk1 .

    look at the quote again.

    he was talking about how it looks. the athstetics of the dash, not the fit requriements.

    I'd keep my eye out for a cabby dash. I prefer early dash's though myself.

    Hi

    Those are the millennium edition dashboards for the MK1 they fit perfectly...
    Heres the rest of the car...

    I think all the screws fit in perfectly, you might need a pop rivet or 2...
    But up to you...

    i wasn't doubting the fitment.

    Let me spell it out real simple like.

    Yes it should fit straight in. Pity it would look sh*t in a mk 1.

    Wow, great response! Thanks guys
    I'll be following up on this in a month or two, as I've got months worth of parts to go on the car as it is!

    I'll be looking for a cabby dash with everything needed for swap.. anyone who wants to PM me a price is welcome

    16v kid - what does your GTI dash look like? Does it have the red trim like this:
