awaiting a response from thettshop , but in the meantime I found the

52mm Defi Blue Racer Gauge for £77 link


the 60mm DEFI BF gauges with the blue tint are even nicer but you then need the control unit.
I plan to stick with the 52mm above which is standalone.

i like the OSIR but think the blue colour doesnt match the OEM dash colour, the AWE does seem to tick the boxes, keeps the use of the vent and colour is near as OEM with out infringing on VW's cool blue Colour.

Thanks K4ith ,
I agree there are certainly elements of the AWE kit I like but supply seems an issue at the moment. (see GroupBuy mkv forum)
I like the way you keep vent control , does it fit RHD cars though ?
Accuracy and response of gauge may not be ideal (but then is that really an issue?)
True it is a better match  and the way the Defi guage lights up may annoy me

I think both are excellent options , for now I have ordered from ttshop.
They couldnt be more helpful , 40 quid for OPOD MONO RHD and 140 for Defi BR 52mm guage (no link unit reqd)
should arrive in around 2-4 weeks

I will fit it and see how I get on.
I'm pretty fussy so if I dont like it , then it gets replaced lol

the only issue is actually attacking my new car to plumb in the gauge  :shocked:
