Facia Panel

On Abload linked in Doppel-Wobber:

A facia panel is a indicating device in the dashboard.
It is right behind the steering wheel,
and has a bent acrylic glass in front,
behind which there is a collection of indicators
like the speedometer and so on.

These collections differ within the MK2 series.

The C-Model does not have a clock
nor does it have a tripmeter.
The GTI-Model, as well as the CL's with automatic transmission
and the Golf Hit, has a LCD-Clock.
Sometimes, there is a revolution meter,
and if not, there are sometimes gear switch marks.
The temperature indicator is sometimes included in the right.

I just know a little here, probably a senior
would like to answer with a deeper sum up,
to make it a little nicer. I would be pleased.

On the German Doppel-Wobber board, LukasEO dismantled a unit.

Among other things, this could be useful for putting a revolution meter in.
Intuitively for me, the right place for the trailer indicator control light
would be in this free slot below the indicator control light, but after @Eddypeck digged out
an original handbrake warning light with a build in one (191919235F),
it seems not longer to be meant for it.
The only light in the second column seams to be the engine emission malfunction warning
and its always on the far end to the middle of the car (RHD/LHD respectively).

Anyway, on utube they tell us how to fiddle with it,
which we, of course, should not do.

Edit: Golf C has no tripmeter, adding LCD-Clock appearances.
