I'd think Corrado and/or A3 dashes look best but I am only in the
planning stages on a dash swap. I'm of a mind to pull one from the junk
yard and send it out to be recovered just to keep it old school.

GTIs have that pull it and flip it option but the Mk1 Scirocco has a
suspended cloth (vinyl) type headliner. JC Whitney might have one but
you'll be better off getting one from a TMI distributor.

I've been thinking of going black up top instead of the white one in

a poke or two but decent otherwise.
