MKIII Passenger Footwell

I’m sure I remember reading somewhere that there’s a big chunk of useless plastic in the front of the footwell of a non air-con MKIII, and that if you remove it and fiddle around with the carpets, you can gain an extra few inches of legroom. Or maybe I dreamt it??

 No, you didn’t dream it, although I’ve just spent 1/2 hour searching the old forum, and I can’t find the reference anywhere. But basically IIRC you pull the carpet, remove a large plastic bit and relay the carpet

Many Thanks for taking the trouble Geoff!

 $64K question is now, shall I take it out?

btw, being a musician ‘of a certain age’, I also enjoyed a browse through your verithin site.
