James_VW Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Can the older style dash be 'converted' into the newer style?All that looks different is the section below the stereo and the hazard warning lights.. Can you just reroute the hazard warning light and heated window switches and change over to the cup holders?Also... are all the dashboards the same as in fitting them? Could I take a dashboard from a newer model (SDI, TDI, 1L) car and fit it into an older style sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah it's doable. Really not worth it if you ask me but yep doable.Old dash has certain benefits over the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to change would it just be as simple as swapping them over? or is there more to it as in trimming sections?The issue is that the dash has a whole in it next to the steering wheel So I am planning on replacing dash as all the interior is already removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 The switches under has a big space behind, great for storing wires for the head unit etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
