i think it looks good,not overly impressed with the pod tho,where the vac hose attaches at the back of gauge it sits very close to the back of pod and was bending the hose at quite a tight 90 degree angle so i ended up drilling a hole in the back of the pod so the hose comes out straight,and its all nicely tucked away under the bellows.i also added some red vac hose over the top of the tubing newsouth give you as i thought it looked a bit flimsy plus didn't go with my colour scheme and looks good with the new scuttle panel fitted to

I did have it in the air vent but it was a pain as it reflected badly in the window.

rather tham start a new thread i have a question abuot the pillar pods, it may seem a silly question but has anyones pillar pod failed an MOT? I ask this because i once too my car in for an MOT and let my phone holder stuck on the windscreen and this failed my MOT as its an obstruction of your view through the windscreen (apparently)
-
your mot tester needs a short sharp backhander accross the face.... twice :drool:
-
And maybe a Flying kick through the same windscreen :grin:
I take it he charges you for re-test

well it was actually free, as i got a voucher through with my insurance, so thought may aswell use it, safe to say i took it elsewhere for the re-test :-)
It was when i had my 306 (yes i know, i hang my head) and i knew it was heap of sh!t, said garage quoted me 600 quid for it to pass, took it elsewhere, £100 later and it passed.
