Nice!

Indeed very nice, I've been looking to see if they had one of these for a while.

Is this for really hot days?

Yep, got it in one

I don't know why they don't come out of the factory like that really....

meh, happy with mine at the moment, and it cost about 20% of the current cost of that - that vent will probably hit 40-50 quid

That's crap if you ask me, why go to all the bother of manufacturing a custom gauge mount and then make it look like you've just cut your gauge into the bloody vents?!?!?

Oh dear!:(:confused:

i'm assuming that wont work as a vent then, in this country the winters get too cold plus only takes one guage.

i'd rather have some kind of mount down the A-pillar with 2 or 3 guages if i was going that route.

It doesn't function as a vent.

I do see the point raised above about making it look like a vent. No doubt easier to take the dimension of the vent and then just create a straightforward plastic enclosure with a hole in the middle.

Granted, make it from a vent but make it straight forward, not slatted with false adjusters and all!

Looking at the pix though.. this is an original vent they've hacked about?..

Personally, I'd put a clock in it! I hate having it on the computer screen!.. Why doesn't it time out back to the clock?...Ooooo, there's a thought... can Vag com program this to happen?

I think people are more likely to put a boost guage in there

A slight bit of over-engineering for a clock me thinks!

Steve

Personally i think its bob on!! no nasty fixing holes here and there, no massive ghastly piller mounts, just using an OEM part its just in sight and will come in super handy for watching out for my turbo.

Im gona buy one once the newness wears off and they will be cheaper

NOPE! Clock all the way ... a nice old Smiths one with a big'ol chrome ring!
