Title: Dumb question - don't really know the difference between the inst clusters.
Post by: nc35 on September 13, 2009, 04:08:30 pm: Hi All

Been looking for an answer to the question as to the difference between the basic, mid & highline instrument clusters.

As far as I can tell all GTI come with the midline as standard, which has the trip computer fuel consumption. What do the highline have. Pictures I have seen on the web have and outline of the car showing the open doors.

Just wondering as I see posts where people have upgraded their dash.

Suppose I feel the slippery slope of mods coming along... :ashamed: (As I had a pop at daughter not so long ago for wanting to lower her car etc) (Yep real tom boy)

I remember reading that is quite expensive to retro fit the highline.
