Fitting VDO gauges - help needed

[GolfDan]

Chaps

I have bought some gauges but looking at my centre console I cant see how to remove the ashtray/lighter part so i can fit them.

Do I need to buy a votex console or is there an easy way of removing the lighter/ashtray part

Thanks for your help in advance guys

Looks like it will be a Votex console then! 
Anybody got one? you find it easy to install?

Cheers

nah you just need to be a bit creative with a mini hacksaw/dremel/file etc. i put my gauges up in place of the stereo and moved my stereo down to the centre console, was pretty straight forward. have a look at my gallery or project section for pics.

i put them where the ashtray was like above it is pretty straight forward.
you can buy the ashtray gauge holder from awesome gti for £20.
