I hope you find one mate I look everytime I go online but cant find a model specific one :( thinking of getting a uni one and breaking out some fibre glass ;)

I've just been searching for such a thing myself! The best I've come up with is the Carbon Fiber Works ones that fit on the inside of the wing mirror on the door, like I have in the S60. I could do with a double one though, so would need one for the left and right hand side, which is best part of a couple of hundred quid! Keep the thread updated if you find anything, I'll do the same.

I'm thinking I might get another piece of A pillar trim and and universal twin mount, with a bit of fiberglass, filler and paint, should be able to make one easily enough?

The boost gauge is currently in one of the center vents, I'm not a fan sorry.

Post 683217 by t5 pete on 2014-01-23 19:35:17

Other possibility would be to make a new dash top to house 3 gauges

Post 683230 by Jamest5r on 2014-01-23 19:50:29

Each to there own I hate A pillar gauges lol

Post 683334 by Redbrick on 2014-01-23 22:07:34

I hate gauges in vents. A RH drive version of that one posted earlier would be amazing, group buy? This is what I've ended up with, in my face, I don't really like it but it serves a purpose (when I remember to look at them) Image Image

Post 683352 by T5frankie on 2014-01-24 05:41:51

There is someone who will custom make them with a minimum group buy ill check when I finish Work

[QUOTE=T5frankie;683352]There is someone who will custom make them with a minimum group buy ill check when I finish Work[/QUOTE] Nice. Would need to be good quality that goes without question I guess. Do you have a spare A pillar piece of trim?

Post 683411 by abdul on 2014-01-24 11:18:54

Group buy

Post 683413 by T5frankie on 2014-01-24 11:26:03
