Gauge Mounting

Just remounted my boost gauge/mounted my new a/f meter in the top centre cubby. A plate of 3mm aluminium sprayed up in black.

- looks a bit rubbish in the photo, but you get the idea.

bloody hell! I just made one (full sized) for mine! lol

Edit!

I should say that you wont see the boost gauge very well

I kept mine up on the dash to the right of the wheel.

@Red - bloody showoff!

Its fine, i don't tend to watch the boost gauge anyway...[death]

the car hits the road on the 1st of next month. All it needs now is 2 tyres and the infocenter sorting...the usual plug wiggle is no longer cutting it.

How do you re-mould the plastic like that then?

@ JT-thats pretty cool. I like aftermarket gauges and stuff, they look pretty cool.

@ Red-cool too, but doesn't it give you a headache with all those instruments??

1:0 for you. you're right the headunit has to be changed, but i don't have enough money, spent everything on the gauges

@dan to be honest it was a bit difficult to drive with all that lights at night

but now i get used to it and everything is fine
