I think thats going to be a one-off for the time being... Although now I have had a bit of practice :lol: Just wouldnt be worth it, it takes too long and I couldnt charge by the hour... I may make something for myself next winter, but its even harder for the MK3 with vertually no trim depth. :(
I'll see how I feel later in the summer :roll:

Excellent work, great minds think alike, I bought a double pod almost identical to your double about 6 months ago on ebay (even the same fake CF finish) with the intention of doing just that and fitting my boost gauge and an oil pressure gauge.

Still hadn't managed to get round to fitting it, but i had decided it wasn't going to be simple as the transit trim is no where near the same shape as the 'universal pillar' they had modeled the pod on :lol:

I'll grab a spare trim from the scrappies and have a go myself... ! I'll post in here.. if it's any good.

Im thinking of 2 seperate pods, moulded together and extend the backs... Ive already started to chop up the other one, so I cant even sell it on :(
PLease post up your progress pictures.

Now I need a decent (possibly split/dual gauge) to do this pod justice :!:

Perfect :!:

Not going out in the rain :roll: :( But there's loads on E bay :!:
It does look like this one
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AUTOGAUGE-52mm-WH ... 1|294%3A50

What I'd really like in there (but unlikely to find one) is a dual gauge that will do boost and oil temp. for the transmission :D


Might settle on one of these smoked ones 8)
