Hi Everyone, Thanks for the posts really appreciate the info, I'm looking for a set of kph dials in Germany, I might have to get a white needle set and change my to my orange ones and just replace the tacho bit etc.. I guess if I don't find any I could leave as is, does anyone have a PM or email for him?, be good to know exactly what i need to do before import, I'd like to use the car ASAP once it's here.

club rego has to be older than 30 years. not an option. Compliance is easy - it is basically exactly the same as the AUS delivered model and there is a Road Vehicle Descriptor sheet on the Mk1 cabriolet (Ask RMS Technical Enquiries for a copy or where to find it - 1300137302). A certifier charging you for bull**** he doesn't know is not right so do your homework and it's a walk in the park and cheap - how much is it to compare your vehicle to an AUS model and verify they are the same? It is a no brainer. Find out the difference between AUS models and yous and fit that. The AUS cabrios had lap belts in the rear (it is in the RVD sheet as a 'minor and inconsequentilal' ADR non compliance. That is, no lap sash in the rear for these cars.

Hi Hern, cheers for the info,I've found this.. https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/regi...al-certificate not sure if this right info or not. Just wondered does anyone know the score with doing engine conversions and passing Australian guidelines for road use as its quite popular in UK mine was originally 1.8 GTi 8v then it was converted to 1.8T 20v now looking into something different..

Send a PM to GeorgeMK1. He's recently converted his Cabby to 1.8t 20v and will know all the stuff you'll need for rego.

A quick word of warning - think of each state in Australia as a country!
There really isn't a heaps of consistency

I really wanted a Sportline or a Rivage when I was younger. Insurance was a killer though. Had to stick to my Vauxhall Nova for a while...
