The Campaign edition GTI shared many of the same interior specifications as the standard 1983 MK1 GTI, which had received several upgrades from earlier models. The features listed are therefore not necessarily unique to the Campaign edition.
Trim pattern options were as per the table in section 2 of this guide (black-red stripe, black-silver stripe, black-green stripe). Front seats had square adjustable headrests, and a horizontal seam on the rear of the backrest. Rear seats had a revised (lower) squab design and thinner middle seat than earlier models.
As a 1983 model, all Campaign edition cars came with the upgraded dashboard features and designs (introduced from August 1980 on the GTI range).
4-spoke leather bound steering wheel with GTI embossed on the plastic centre.
Multi-function digital trip computer ('MFA computer').
The introduction of the MFA computer meant that the lower dash console (which previously housed 3 instruments) was replaced with a blanking plate. Note, many owners have since re-installed the instruments for a better look.
Internally adjustable door mirrors.
Golf ball gear knob with gear pattern printed in white on top.
3 point seatbelts applied to all seats (other than the rear middle seat which retained a lap belt).
Revised door lock pins (MK2 type).
Late model MK1 GTIs including the Campaign received a retention strap over the spare wheel and jack in the trunk.
Radios and tape decks were dealer fitted items, and often included Blaupunkt and Panasonic units. Two commonly cited examples of a Blaupubkt unit are provided in the images.
