Mk1 Scirocco gauge panel
This week, we made a reproduction Mk1 Scirocco gauge panel that is no longer in production. These were made at WCR North in the Seattle area. If we can not get parts, we want the next best thing, an original copy. With parts like this, attention to detail was critical before making the mold. We repaired some scratches on the aftermarket original Scirocco gauge panel. Then, we textured it exactly like the original part. After that, we scanned the panel with a high resolution 3d scanner. Now we can also 3d print these panels and print them in polycarbonate carbon fiber. They are so exact that you can not tell a difference between the cast part and the 3d printed part.
Considerable amount of time, R&D and detailed work is put into parts like this. The time it takes to make or find a minor part like this. Out goal is to replicate the and/or obtain the original look and finish of our builds.

Premium Interior Restoration: Mk1 Scirocco gauge panel
Is your classic Volkswagen interior looking dated or incomplete? Most Mk1 owners struggle to find a clean, factory-style solution for mounting extra gauges. At WestCoastRoccos, we offer Mk1 Reproduction Gauge Panels to solve this problem with a professional finish. We design these panels specifically for the Mk1 chassis to ensure they look like they came from the factory. Therefore, you can monitor your engine’s vitals without ruining your dashboard’s classic aesthetic.
The Importance of Precise Gauge Mounting
Adding oil pressure, voltage, or temperature gauges is vital for protecting a vintage engine. However, many universal mounting solutions look out of place or require permanent damage to your dashboard. Consequently, we developed these reproduction panels to fit the specific contours of the Mk1 center console and dash areas. Our panels provide a secure, rattle-free home for your 52mm gauges.
Our manufacturing process ensures the texture and color match the original Volkswagen interior plastics. Specifically, we prioritize a “factory-plus” look that satisfies even the most detail-oriented restoration judges. Thus, your cabin maintains its 1970s and 80s charm while gaining modern functionality. As a result, you can keep a close eye on your 16v or VR6 swap while maintaining a clean cockpit.
Durable Engineering and High-Quality Materials
We understand that classic car interiors face extreme temperature changes. Therefore, we use high-grade materials that resist warping and UV damage over time. These reproduction panels handle the heat of summer and the vibrations of the road without cracking. In fact, our panels offer more durability than the original 40-year-old plastic they replace.
Every panel features precision-cut holes that fit standard 52mm (2 1/16 inch) gauges perfectly. Moreover, the mounting tabs align with original factory points for a “bolt-in” experience. Because we focus on the Mk1 platform, we eliminate the guesswork and fabrication usually required for custom gauge setups. Ultimately, this saves you hours of frustration during your interior reassembly.
Simple Installation and Versatile Fitment
You do not need to be a professional upholsterer to install our Mk1 Reproduction Gauge Panels. We designed these parts for easy DIY installation using basic tools. First, identify the location for your new panel, such as the center console or radio delete area. Then, simply secure the panel and wire your gauges.
We provide panels for various Mk1 models, including:
-
Mk1 Rabbit and GTI: Perfect for adding performance monitoring to your hot hatch.
-
Mk1 Scirocco: Fits the unique console layout of the Giugiaro-designed classic.
-
Mk1 Jetta and Pickup: Restores functionality to the utility-focused dash layouts.
Furthermore, these panels allow you to return your car to stock in the future if desired. As a result, you preserve the value of your vehicle while enjoying the benefits of modern instrumentation.
