Ive sold a couple of gauges minus senders for £30-£35 each so plus a console which Id imagime the round figure of £10 would come in.

Offer him £25 and see where it goes I would mate, its in your favour if the value to the seller is unknown  :cool:

Has that been custom matde as it looks so different mate?!

In fairness Id say £100 is a lot, you could buy a centre console for £15 posted or get one from the auto jumble at a show then mount the gauges which if you buy them as I usually sell them on in the cage from the Audi coupe's they will fit at in the bottom tray part flush with the surround

He's dreaming imo. You can make one yourself, OK it won't be OEM but it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper.

and why the heck would someone want 2 battery VDO's :huh:

Adam, do you get the VDO cage's from the scrappy near you?

I'll need one for EGT, Boost and oil pressure and it would be great to have them down there and looks like it belongs there.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Thats a votex centre console. He will get £100 for it all day.

The electric window surround goes for silly money alone!

Thats why I wondered if it was modified or original lol.

well in that case from what Ive heard of the rarity of votex consoles its going to be worth it haha, I didnt even know what one looked like!

but on the other hand there is a cheaper option!




Jay will look out for you mate  :cool:

by looking at the pic i think its genuine. IIRC the cheaper copies have more rounded edges  :nerd:

Ive got a 16v centre console if you want it for free (collection only sadly) Has a mk3 heated seat switch neatly fitted. thats all.

Ah right!

You will pick up a console easy mate like I said for £15 posted, some people will pay you to take them away!

I have 2 clogging up my garage at the moment but 1's a non elec window and the others a caddy one!

Have you looked on ebay? cheap as chips  :cool:
