Phase 1/2/? Dashboard

[baldy 6 1 Cars]

right ive seen 4 different dashes in 205s on mine has the small pocket on the passenger side big enough for mars bar .

the second one had amuch bigger pocket

the 3rd had no pocket and

4th had similar to a 306 dash with a lid glove box ..

 

got me baffled i thought they only made 2 ..

 

did they make different dashes for the 1.6 1.9 garros etc or can 306 be modded to fit 205 ..

 

..go on tell me to search.......... i have done nowt came up

There's two basic dash designs - Phase 1 (heater controls on sliders) that was upto 1987, and Phase 1.5 and Phase 2 (rotary heater controls) that was from 1988 onwards.

 

These were available in various colours depending on age/model and different trim levels had differing features - for example, some base models didn't have a glovebox (just a shelf), lower center console in front of the gear lever (just a small tray) or cointray (just a plastic blank)

It's left hand drive & these were available on the european market but I don't think they ever fitted them to any UK 205 GTI's, although my old 309 SRi had them.
