Default Din sized gauge mounts...

Afternoon folks! I've got 3 gauges waiting to go into my mk1 Octavia vRS. I plan to fit them into the second DIN slot in the dash but I'm having trouble finding a suitable holder. I don't like the ones which angle the gauges slightly towards the driver but they seem to be the only ones on ebay at the moment . I was told that Awsome-GTI sold the flat type holders but have been unsuccessful locating them on their site. Does anyone know where I might find one?

Thanks
Phil.

Have you seen the one on the Golf Mk4 page?

Awesome GTI Store UK - Mk4 Golf Interior Styling

Not sure if it is the same part but it looks much more nicerer!

Thanks Simon, there is a price difference so perhaps the Golf panel IS of better quality? I agree it does look better. I'll go with the golf one! Thanks again.

Bit of bike screen trim down both edges would fill that little gap easily mate, wouldn't bother me too much tho Looks nice.
