  If you want it expect to pay for it.  Last one I knew of went for a little over $600 with
shipping, etc, etc.

  It will fit into a Scirocco very easily. A little bit of trimming and it looks like it was
designed for the MK2 dash.  You will need a MFA and all the sensors to go with it.  You will also
want to see if it includes the digital speed sensor (you will need it, replaces the speedo cable in
the tranny) Good news is you can pull one off of a 97 or newer golf I believe.  You will also want
to make sure you have the little hours/min switches to change the clock, etc.  It is not in the
cluster, like the reg. MK2 clusters.  It is a separate piece that mounts in the dash. It is much
easier to install if you get the harness as well.  Then you can simply splice into the harness
wires, with out it you have to do a little more work.

  And of course it is all in metric, it is truly a Euro-look thing :)
