Aren't these guages known for being more of an OEM match? http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3784 (http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/product.php?xProd=3784)

maybe colourwize, but the DEFI gauges are known for their quality. some say best gauges out there. and the whole point of this is to be accurate.

But my god they're ugly.

Try SWGmotorsport for thier gauges which are £52 and look smart!

If someone had fitted that to a car I was viewing secondhand I'd say "Thank you" and leave.

Looks like it's just come out of some tacky Jap racer.

ON the SWG ones you can always paint the silver ring!

They don't look bad to me? Only marginally different to other mk5 boost gauges out there.

Put me down for one SteveS
DEFI are the best out there.  I have needed a boost gauge for the last 4 years.  Should have come as standard.

You obviously weren't impressed with my SWGmotorsport boost gauge then Steve  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:  Have to say, that silver ring looks very nasty though - which is why mine stayed in its bag in the glove compartment  :wink:

the gauge itself is fine, but saying it looks so much better than the defi one I don’t get? if it’s a real match they want, neither do the job, as you found with the silver ring, lol. I’d rather have an accurate gauge over a slight appearance anyway, defi are known for their quality and rep, which is why I’m looking at those.

it’s everyone’s own opinion I guess. but just posting to moan is a bit childish, especially when I’m trying to just help ppl out.

Have to agree there.  Its a group buy thread FFS.  I'd have personally not even bothered replying but there you go...
