No, anything I tried to do there would look bodged... but in any case, it probably won't be there for long... the plan is to move the gauge to a pillar pod, and install an AVC-R in the vent space at some point

i dont think it would be too bodged - im sure it could be made to look right.

However im considering mounting my gauges elsewhere - watch this space

How's this

ok but where is the heater control now

On the centre consol, it's only the fan speed anyway

Basically the same as Calibrax's

How do you change the fan speed? Or is it on permantently now?

I'm replacing the tape tray on mine with a guage holder, or whatever it's called under the radio.

Just moved the switch to the consol next to the handbrake

Here are mine - not exactly the ideal place for a boost gauge to be but they do look quite nice lit up at nightime!

Apologies for the wobbly photo - only have access to mobile phone cam at the moment!

My set up took lots of blood sweat and tears. Weeks and weeks went into the careful preparation and finalisation of all the details so it stands out from the rest. Some even say it could have come from the factory like that, in fact I ought to patent it before posting pics, but I trust you lot

One day I may pull finger out and sort something a bit neater, then again...
