Some information for anyone thinking of carrying out this conversion;
The upper console comprises of 3 main parts;
1 - The console itself (sides and front) with framework for upper switchgear and climate control.
2 - The inner double din framework that holds the head unit securely in place.
3 - The fascia trim that surrounds upper switches, head unit and climate control.
Ideally you need all 3 items to make this conversion look OEM.
I've now managed to source all 3 of the parts above along with the matching
lower console with the lighter / ashtray and a brand new, leather armrest.
However, in my Newbie eagerness I've managed to end up with a complete spare setup comprising everything needed to carry out the conversion including upper and
lower consoles and an armrest. I also have another
lower console with the lighter / ashtray in place and the cutout already done for the armrest (MK4 Golf / Bora model fits - £30 on ebay).
I'm hoping to place Ads in the For Sale Section this weekend but if anyone's interested in any of the parts, feel free to send sensible offers via PM.
