Awww. in a way i'm sad you've changed cars as it was great seeing a wreck sorted into a half decent motor.  But then swapping to the TDI was a wise move... Hope it's a good motor.

yeah same, the TDIs good on fuel, reliable and fast enough that i can keep it for a couple of years until i finish uni so i think its a good move

theres not many decent mounting places in mk3s, i dont like pillar mounts and didnt want to lose an air vent so made this up from a energy drink can

yeah the 52mm gauges are a perfect fit into those size cans so i wouldnt be surprised if its been done before

im pretty happy with it though, tried to get it looking as clean as possible, was going to go with a redbull can but the pussy can is a bit different  :grin: and it matches the colour of the car

Plus the pussy can is  :cool: and would be less noticeable if it fades

Although it's not something id personally fit to one of my cars i still thinks it's quite cool, plus even if it does get get dented or sun faded it's hardly going to break the bank to replace with a fresh one is it. :smiley:
