Hi this is my first post on here and I am hoping someone can help I'm looking at changing my interior on my car it's a dirty Nakerd cream leather and I'm thinking of getting a non runner with black leather!? The thing I'm worried about is that it's a 2000 2.4 na so would it be the same as my 1998 t5? Hope someone knows haha

Your T5 is probably pre me-7 which means the new interior would work and fit perfectly but the airbags won't fire as the newer ones run from computer but the old ones fire mechanically.

Also, another issue is the dashboard. I may be wrong but I believe the wiring is all different behind the dash so to swap the dashes you would need to swap the wiring that's on the back of the dash over too. Not too hard, just loads of fiddly clips and cables ties holding the wiring to the dash. ;) Oh and welcome BTW :D

The passenger side airbag is different too between 97-98 cars and 99-00 cars. The dash top is the same and the bag can be swapped over between dash tops though.
