Modern stereo in my MK3

Recommended Posts

I'm definitely going to put a decent stereo in my mk3, but the hole in the dash wont fit modern DIN units, so its choppin time.

This is what i bought, I've also bought some JL audio VR series 6" door speakers.

Deffo not going to cut holes in the cards, i've got a spare set with holes already in em.

I'm going to flush fit it into the dash so its flat with it, i reckon it should look pretty good(shiny wood and gloss black)

That looks very nice. I would even go so far as to say tasteful :)

 

If I remember right - mine has a 70's one fitted with the modern one sitting in the glovebox.
