Default Finally installed Gauges
Well after a few teething problems, they are in. Firstly the gauges themselves were a nightmare to wire in, and then getting the pod to fit properly was just as bad.

It still needs to be more firmly bolted down, but here they are anyway. (Sorry about crap quality pics!)

Ignition on:


Ignition off:

Peugeot cossack grey metallic was the closest I could find to match the centre console. Is not exact but as close as.
