Fitted my boost and oil pressure gauges abit back so thought i'd post a pic of it.
Its a corrado dash conversion, but I guess you can use the same idea on your normal dash.. IMO opinion its alot nicer than those "Pods" you get to stick ontop of the dash.
Before
After
It was really easy to do, cut the vents out and file the plastic away. Made myself a wooden piece to fit the gap and then cut 2 holes in for my gauges. I then got some cheap imitation sticky back leather stuff off ebay and bingo...
What you think? i like it, it looks quite subtle.

Re: Fitted some new gauges.
my only criticism would be i think you should have deleted the vent control too. other than that, looks a top job. did you trim the dash at all to get it to fit? i started playing around with a rado dash conversion in frankenocco, but didn't have the patience
Re: Fitted some new gauges.
I should have removed the vent control part but at the time i didnt really think about it.
I got the car with the dash in, from looking at it its not that hard to do, its the same width, and the steering wheel seems to locate in the right place.
You'll have to trim at the back i think by the windscreen, and make some brackets to hold it in place, on the A pillars mine are located...
If any1 needs more photos of the dash i'll get some 4 you.
Cheers 4 your responses.
