Glovebox.

[andy 0]

Mines a 1994 model and doesn't have one, annoyingly there's just a little shelf. Saw a picture of a later model with a glovebox below the passenger airbag, do all later models have that or is it just highlines? Are there any other interior variations between old and newer?.....like better seats ;-)

Mines not a h/line and has the glove box under the airbag (R plate). Like eat this said - it aint exactly big. My other Mk3 (non VR6) had a big g/box where the air bag on the VR is. As for seats, my older Mk3 Driver (L plate) had much better cloth on the seats - much thicker and harder wearing. Shape of the seat was the same . I think th VR also came with a recaro seat option.

[acf8181 0]

yep..either get the small one or loose the airbag and get the normal one.

I might change to the glovebox then, can't hide anything easily, as far as the seats go, I really struggle to get comfortable, I am 6'3 but I find the drivers seat doesn't even seem to be centralised on the steering wheel, I'm pointing to the right of the wheel. Find the upper back support non existant, it p*sses me off even more than the bumpy ride lol, anyone else? need some recaros...and a schrick....and an arb....and a chip....the list goes on ;-)

hm im 6'2 and dont hav a prob i do hav to put seat 2 clicks forwards from backstop so i can reach the gear lever properly though which makes my legs stick at a funny angle lol but i love the leather even comfy 200 miles + journeys

Erm, may sound thick as treacle, but are we allowed to take out our airbags ourselves and replace it with a glovebox? Won't it erm invalidate er, somthing?

well...to get technical you're supposed to inform the insurance co that you've disabled the airbag.

one of the reasons i went for a '93 car was that i was gonna change the wheel anyway..essential for a good driving position.

i agree by the way...standard seats are horribly unsuportive of the upper back/shoulders. you know what seats i've found that are very comfy...mkIV polo 16v/glx ones. much better than the golf ones. i suspect they'll bolt into the golf no probs....but the missus wouldn't let me swap front seats to see!

I can't put my seat that far back as I can't reach the steering wheel properly then (long legs you see), are the leather seats a better shape than the cloth ones?

[Eat this 2]

dunno but i hav leather and like em i also hav long legs

sounds like you need an aftermarket steering wheel with spacer to me.

let me guess, to be able to hold the wheel, you then become too squashed up? same prob i had, i knew it before i bought a vr6, so already had the stuff ready to fit.

mine is spot on now, the wheel is less than a foot from me

yeah thats the problem, didn't really want to lose the airbag though if I replace the wheel, can you get after market steering wheels with airbags that are compatible etc?

hey binliner, no my car hasnt got a lower glovebox, its got a crappy shelf.
