Only a quick glance today Craig. But the centrer bit on the mk2 (for radio and lighter), is tiny compared to the mk3. And does not go down as far as the centre tunnel. Only problem is mounting holes are at the side of the mounting, not near the top where the dash is.

Another little project. Thinking along the lines of copying in fibreglass with top mounting position.

The tyres are 205/40/17 & believe it or not, they don't rub.


Thanks for confirming that - I thought the wheel and tyre combo looked a bigger diameter than stock, with the way the sit relative to the arches. Now I know my eyes are not playing tricks.
