New boost gauge pod

winx · 25-05-2006, 16:58

Well I was fed up of the terrible looking twin a pillar pod I had (fake carbon fibre) looked into getting it flocked and would only have been £15 but still didnt like the shape too much, so decided to have bash myself.
I needed to mould in the tweeters so thought I would do one gauge at the same time, oil temp will be going in the triangular trim inside the mirror.

Am quite pleased with the outcome

cheers guys, sorry for late reply, been away for the weekend.

They took about 3 hours for the drivers side and 2 hours for the passenger side... Pics taken at work so I could use their camera, I think there is a db7 and a ferarri gts in the background.

Dead chuffed with how they came out, and as said above, hooooge improvement on what was there before!

Next job is to get the temperature gauge in the mirror housing.
