Whats so good about these? Would you recommend another gauge?

They match the existing clocks perfectly with the blue and red dials. Also are well made and about as accurate a gauge as you can get

This. I wouldn't have any other gauge, it's a perfect match for existing clocks.

Looks like i have to get the new south performance then :evil:
Thanks for that peeps.
Also i have seen a steering colum pod for it but its for a mk5 do you guys think it will fit? Reason i ask is it looks nice as its slanted to the left side.

Will do. Its going to cost a ton for the gauge with the colum pod holder and a ring around the gauge.

You can get the steering column pod off eBay for 25 quid. If you get the a pillar and NSP gauge it will cost you close to a ton. But it's worth it.

I agree with jock the silver ring is a waste of money and looks crap. Isn't it 16quid?
Title: Re: new south performance turbo gauge
Post by: dom on 09 October 2013, 22:09
I disagree, mine has the silver ring and definitely doesn't look tacky:
