True true. For me id just get one and fit it...stuff painting it.
When the time comes to sell the car, put the blue bin thing back in it.

And sell the glovebox to another mk3 owner.

What models of mk3 were sold new in ozzie? 3dr? 5dr? vento? variant? cabrio? cli/gli? gti? (8v & 16v) vr6?

Can you guys import second hand ones from japan? or singapore? south africa?

I have toyed around with the fact that I can try and go two-tone (blue top dash with black under-dash) but the glovebox I was eyeing on got sold to someone else, so I've ditched that thought haha.

I believe there were the 1.8L CL (later models came in 3-door), 2.0 GL (all 5-door), VR6 (all 5-door), early Cabrio and the late Mk3.5 Cabrio, and the Vento (I've seen GL versions around, not sure if there were any other versions). No variants and no GTI. I'm not sure but there may have been TDI's too? *looks at Oli*

Imports require a 1 year ownership of the car from wherever it is bought from, before you are able to bring it down. That's privately though.

did you know you can fit a large KFC chips, a regular popcorn chicken, and a 600ml bottle of pepsi in the drivers door, all standing up, with the tops open for easy access? I do it all the time, it makes up for the lack of cup holders!

When i bought my VR6, i had no idea there were no glove boxes in them, i cant tell you how weird that is, it doesnt look good on VW at all theat they couldnt design a better dash so that it incorporates a glovebox....

Its almost bordering pathetic, and thats coming from a dub head!

so if you were to get your hands on a glovebox off a 96 model, is it easy to fit in place of that pencil holder?
