do all t25 dashboards have gaps at the ends like this?
think i might fill them up before painting

Yes.

good old vw engineering !

gaps filled, 6 coats later,



repainting, instrument hood & bottom cowl too

looks great but I hope the filler can cope with expansion in the sun, think that's why VW built them the way they did, when the doors are shut you don't notice the gap anyway
