   as above, if i remove the airbag, will a glovebox fit back in its place? or would i have to find a complete dash and swap them over? getting fed up of no storage space and things just laying on the floor and passenger seat

   It's fits like factory.
   
   Not that hard to do, I had to bin the air vent pipe.
   
   Nearly broke me back lying down over the sill to see up the back of the dash.
   
   I remember I bought a whole dash cos at the time it was cheaper than buying an insert and a lid.

   Oh yeah you just need to tape a resistor into the airbag plug to keep the dash light off.
   
   I forget the er resistance of the resistor but I searched on here to find out.
