Yeah could be a speaker..but what funtion would the scrolling thing do?
golf nutter:
oh yeah...didnt notice that! am going out soon so shall have a look at mine!

Lol @ you both. It does look like a speaker I will give you that, but it is actually a vent, I think it is standard equipment in the GTi but not the GT, at least not all of them. The tray I replaced it with has a blanking plate to block the vent, with this installed it reduces the flow when set to the occupants which makes for a much more pleaseant and temperant experience. :happy2:
Thinking about it, its probably fitted to all cars which have the climatronic A/C.

The vent wasn't standard on many cars. I think the early GT and GTI's came with the 10-speaker set up (not the 6 you get now) and that included the big one above the centre of the dash. The scroll on the front of it is for a vent, but it comes up at the front, right next to the windscreen.
I have an early ('54 plate) GT which came with all the pre-cost cutting goodies: metal glovebox handle, no roof aerial and a ten speaker system. Will try and get pictures up tomorrow in the daylight.
Nice colour car mate, glad to see your treating her well. :-)

The vent part is within the area I've marked, when I fitted the unit I can say for sure there is no room for a speaker either in the unit or the space it goes into.
Thanks for your comments mate. :happy2:
