Nothing wrong with them there
what gauges are in the pillar mount and how easy was it to fit them?
Cheers

Cheers mate, made by a company called Auto Gauges and theres boost and oil pressure there. I bought the gauges and the pod from a mate of mine for £80. The boost gauge was easy to fit because the car had an Apexi boost gauge fitted already when I bought it (which I'm beginning to wish I'd held on to now ) so was an easy job to swap the vac hose and electrical connectors over.

As for the oil pressure, I didn't do the fitting myself, a mate of mine did it so I'm afraid I wouldn't be much good at describing the process!

Not going to fit them myself as i'm getting water and oil gauges which means fiddling around under the bonnet and i'm worried that i'll not connect something back up.
cheers

Take out the go-faster cup holder and the compartment above the stereo slot. You can then mount your own gauge holder of whatever material ( I used a sheet of CF ) from the two screws that secured the cup holder and your away. Depending on material may be able to get 3 gauges in there, but i have my boost in a pillar mount pod.

Very similar mate, I didn't get mine from there because I bought it off a mate of mine complete with gauges etc, been eyeing up the ones at Scooby Clinic for ages prior to that though!

I love the fact that you have a crappy interior yet you've tried to 'jazz' it up with gauges and an ultra modern head unit
