anyone know of aftermarket ones that dont look tacky? theres 51 views and no answers! Guessing they are that hard to find?

Check out the group buy section for the OE one, unless you want a non OE one???

If someone sends me one i could get them re-produced in aluminum then black anadiosed..

that would be great Darren! anyone? ;)

i would need one for a week to make a drawing from then send it back. i would think i could sell these for around £15.00 each if enough interest

i don't know anyone personally with one. but I'm hoping someone will come along - around that price is cool with me :)

I have a left hand one you could use darren? Dont know if its as easy as just mirroring all the measurements? BTW.. dont suppose you found those H&R Coilies?

I have had both lhd and rhd one in the past and they are handed.

I have found them yes.

Make one out of MDF and cover it in carpet. I did this in my old car and it looked very neat.

Bump!! Anyone?

gauges must be so difficult to read down there

 

think the best way is to remove the ash tray and fabricate a mount from there which could contain to 52mm gauges jutting out from the dash, atleast then they are more visible.

 

someone had a picture on here the other day, can't find it now :(

[_leon_ 0]

sure, it might be more visible there - but i just want the gauges there to check periodically - i wont be looking at them as i'm driving. Plus i only want 2 gauges - all the mounts i have seen for mounting in the ash tray are for 3 gauges and i dont want to waste money on 3!

I was looking to get a single pod for the window.... but not sure what to go for as mines LHD. Maybe the ashtray replacement is the way to go. Although not good for a boost gauge.

[_leon_ 0]

because...?

[catch_twotwo 0]

Because it only reacts on boost... when you're going fast and not wanting to look away from the road at the centre console ;)

 

At least a guage on the pilar is a quick glance and nothing more :roll:

All down to personal preference really. I don't mind having the gauges out of the way. Those A-pillar setups aren't much to my taste - but agreed they are easier to see.

 

I've had a boost gauge fitted just sitting in the cubby under the ash tray for about a 3 months. Every now and then or after doing work - I will check the gauge. Or get a passenger to check it as I'm driving. I wouldn't bother looking at it every trip out...
