cool thats a good price, do you recon he could do something like 1.8t conversion to mk2 coil -ve signal, maybe 6 pot to 4pot? if so he'll have a line of mk1/mk2 customers queueing up round the virtual block :)

As for housing that is going to be the sod!!  I found this with when I put one into my Pug 309 GTI......If only I had taken pictures.

Anyway after a little search on the net I found this., the end result is far from perfect imo as in a nice smooth finish but it shows on a rather tricky dash (Corsa B) on how this chap did it......

yeah the biggest problem i see is that the digi dash is slightly larger than the mk3 only marginally but couple that with the shape difference as the mk3 has rounded edges and so on i dont think youl be able to see the full gauges of the digi dash but im gonna get chopping soon and find out lol

Well looks can be deceiving lol only a very fraction of the top corners and mine being a diesel I'm not too fussed about the top of the rev gauge lol

Excellent work mate.  I think you have done really well there. Your thread is going to be a daily viewing for me now as I am very interested. Dom lives just up the road from me and he knows everything to know about Digi-dash's. With the wiring if you get in a complete pickle come to mine and I will see what I can do......Although I dont know how far away from Milton Keynes you are??!!
