Can't see any pictures, but I've seen loads of dashboard swaps in the VW world, corrado or E30 into Mk1/2 Golf and it's always tons of work and rarely fits well, usually because a newer donor vehicle is wider than the recipient, as in the case of the E36/E30.

Some have done fantastic jobs but be prepared for lots and lots of work to make it all fit in and to get fiddly stuff like the heater controls to work well.

Nope, don't like that...
The E30 with it's short & sharp dial surround style dash owns the e36 nonsense

custom dashes are kool (to an extent) newer dashes in older cars just dont look right IMO :cool:
