Title: Y10 GTIe dashboard parts
Post by: 1957steve on 18 April, 2020, 10:25:18 PM
I am looking for dashboard plastics for my Left Hand Drive Y10 GTIe - is there any chance at all?

Thanks,
            Steve

Even good right hand drive is difficult as they don't keep well. I am looking at patching mine up with fibreglass from behind. Searching European suppliers and e-bay Italy or Germany might be productive.

Are they unique to the GT ie or common to all Y10 ? Try Leboncoin in France, lots of Y10 parts available, including several people advertising cars to strip, so you could ask a specific question

Remember to look under Autobianchi too. Is it actually the whole plastic dashboard unit you need as you refer to "plastics" without naming anything specific. Many, probably most, parts are standard to all Y10s.

Thank you for all the replies.

I really need the whole dashboard apart from the instruments as a previous owner appears to have been a demolition expert, although in the short term I could use a glovebox assembly and instrument surround. The glovebox has been cut away to fit an aftermarket aircon unit which is incomplete.

The car was previously imported from Cyprus

The bad news is that the entire dashboard is one single moulding from one side of the car to the other. Instruments, switch panels and covers for radio, glove box etcetera all fasten onto the one single piece. There is occasionally a LHD scrapper available in the UK, I have had parts from one in the past but predictably nothing specific to LHD was of interest to me.
