No glovebox in VR6?

[rayray086]

Oh buggar, the blue dash. Not many of those.
Get one and paint it?

Thought about it, but it seems to be a fair bit of work just to get some extra compartment space. I'd rather one that came in navy blue!

Mysteries revealed!!!

I hadn't checked the lower part yet. But there's a shelf there that's practically useless. Kinda iritating too, where to keep CDs?!

I might hit up the VW wrecker I found this week and see what he's got!

CDs go in a cd wallet of course! and that sits nicely in a door pocket

Or one that goes in your Sun visor

I'm far too picky on what I want to listen to to keep a wallet of discs. Just pluck what I fancy that very second from my collection!

A glove box would be handy to stow them away in though. Failing that of course, theres always the under-the-seat trick.

True true. For me id just get one and fit it...stuff painting it.
When the time comes to sell the car, put the blue bin thing back in it.

And sell the glovebox to another mk3 owner.

What models of mk3 were sold new in ozzie? 3dr? 5dr? vento? variant? cabrio? cli/gli? gti? (8v & 16v) vr6?

Can you guys import second hand ones from japan? or singapore? south africa?

I have toyed around with the fact that I can try and go two-tone (blue top dash with black under-dash) but the glovebox I was eyeing on got sold to someone else, so I've ditched that thought haha.

I believe there were the 1.8L CL (later models came in 3-door), 2.0 GL (all 5-door), VR6 (all 5-door), early Cabrio and the late Mk3.5 Cabrio, and the Vento (I've seen GL versions around, not sure if there were any other versions). No variants and no GTI. I'm not sure but there may have been TDI's too? *looks at Oli*

Imports require a 1 year ownership of the car from wherever it is bought from, before you are able to bring it down. That's privately though.

x 2! I keep my, um, self-compiled CDs there, while I put bought CDs on the door shelf. I must say the door shelves make up for the lack of glovebox!

[ScienceVR6]

did you know you can fit a large KFC chips, a regular popcorn chicken, and a 600ml bottle of pepsi in the drivers door, all standing up, with the tops open for easy access? I do it all the time, it makes up for the lack of cup holders!

[BlackVr6ix]

It sure does , best cup holder i've ever had hahaha

[pommy_golfer]

How could they do that?

When i bought my VR6, i had no idea there were no glove boxes in them, i cant tell you how weird that is, it doesnt look good on VW at all theat they couldnt design a better dash so that it incorporates a glovebox....

Its almost bordering pathetic, and thats coming from a dub head!

so if you were to get your hands on a glovebox off a 96 model, is it easy to fit in place of that pencil holder?

[Tim]

easy peasy to replace. hardest bit is getting a glovebox.
Ive been keeping an eye out for one and it seems they usually go for around $100!
