Another stupid NG question...
Another stupid NG question...
I'm working on dressing up the interior of my 500 and found a nice glove box surround, Monza/Corsa style, and was wondering if I can use my stock glove box door with these surrounds. I thought I read somewhere in another post that the glove box door/surround was different if it came off of a Corsa. Don't know if that's true, but thought I would throw it out to the experts. Thanks for the help.

Corsa, Monza, and 500 glovebox doors are indeed different. The 500 is smooth and painted, has no emblem mounting holes in it. The Monza is just like the 500 door except it is texture-coated either silver or black depending on year and has mounting holes in the upper right to accept the monza cross emblem. The Corsa door is like the Monza door but always black and has different holes in the upper right to accept the Corsa script. You could wrinkle finish your 500 door to match the Corsa surround and it would look fine.

The 500 glove box door is bigger the the monza or corsa so it wont fit in the surround you will have to use the corisponding door.
