Group Buy on Custom A-Pillar Gauge Pods - SEAT Cupra.net

andyedwards · 31-12-2002, 12:56

Hi,

After looking around for a decent gauge pod for the a-pillar of my ibiza I've given up as I don't fancy bolting on something that will look stuck on.

What I have found is a place that will generate a complete replacement a-pillar trim incorporating 1 or 2 52mm gauge pods.

You can see the effect I'm talking about in the image below, you've got to admit it looks better than sticking something on!

(No offence to anyone who has!)

The mould is taken from my original seat pillar trim and should look factory fit when finished. Because the mould is taken from my standard trim it will also have the same grain as the original to help the match.

Price will be roughly £50 + VAT & Postage for a single gauge item.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,

Andrew

One for me too please...

How easy are they to fit?

andyedwards · 01-01-2003, 16:58

You'll need to take the old a-pillar trim off and then slot this chap back in it's place, making appropriate measure to plumb in your gauge at the same time. I'm told the trim should just pop out if pulled in the right places, not sure about any screws needing to be removed but I'm going to check with Seat on Monday when the car's in for some work.

Dimensions wise they'll be identical to the standard trim bar the pod so should look quite neat

I'm hoping the colour match will be as near to the original as possible.

Andrew.

(pardon the censoring above, probably guess who I mean

)

**Saul** · 03-01-2003, 10:07

Andy, im interested what colour are they?

andyedwards · 03-01-2003, 10:10

Er, pretty much the same colour as the std cupra pillar, it's a very light grey/cream I suppose. Do you need a different colour?

**Saul** · 03-01-2003, 10:14

not at all, just thought they would be black, which would look odd.

andyedwards · 03-01-2003, 10:19

Definately so, black would be odd, suppose you could get a matching pair made! If wanting drop me a mail.

cmsmpau1 · 03-01-2003, 21:18

andyedwards · 03-01-2003, 21:59

For the price you get the whole a-pillar trim, the pod is moulded in and should be all you need, except for the gauge of course! It's not a Seat trim that's been modded it's produced from a mould made from my original trim.

By the way, Sorry about the email address, it's BT Click not BT Lick

So that's andyedwards21@btclick.com

04-01-2003, 00:49

So i get the replacement trim too??? Great Ill have one as it will save me from buying a new one from seat! Put me down for one

cupra192 · 04-01-2003, 11:59

Im interested when can i buy one, also can you get gauges to match
the standard white and red ones on the dash. Would be good to see if my car is boosting all the way up to a bar aswell.

Just in case anyone was wondering where this was at I'm a-pillar trimless at the moment while they take a mould, hopefully should get a prototype fitted and photo's taken for you within a week or so.
