Dashboard modifications

[BiTurbo]

Well it's been a long day, but I now have a gloss black dash and the wider centre section fitted. USB port in the glove box and extra door seals too!
Thanks to a helping hand from my wife... and several cups of coffee....

Thinks the good lady is quite happy, will take a few more in daylight tomorrow.

The piece up the side ? Well no because I didn't cut or remove any of the carpet. I've used a piece of the fuse box cover to conceal the gap.

Good idea with the fuse box cover ,I cut a piece of carpet from under centre console .you wouldn't think they would do a different carpet for comfort dash

Any pictures of the cuts on the dash for the glove box. I have started cutting but it appears in going to have to cut so much more that first thought.

It's an horrendous job fella, just take your time.

@RattyMcClelland ,just be careful when cutting across the bottom ,along the line between smooth and texture .
The strip is very valuable ,I put some black silicone in between and put some tape on ,I think @BiTurbo used hot glue gun .

Retro fitted a unit I purchased off eBay. Better than having a hole there, and charge points are always a plus.
Will post some pics tomorrow

Oooh I like that, cracking effort. May have to look into doing the gear shift surround. Do you get the parts from the VW dealer?
