Introduction
Winter 2010 I went to pick up a Calypso Green Jetta MK2 1.8 Syncro. In the first years I experimented with some Corrado Angel Eyes, MK4/TT dash and LCD displays around. But over the years, I have felt more and more love for the original styling from VW. So from Audi TT dashboard with fancy gauges, I have landed on MK2 OEM dashboard with digifiz gauges. It will be a subtle but fast vw, with lots of cool details
