Well I made my airvent gauge pod but I don't like how it pokes out :( then I broke it so I either need to make it again or does anyone know if I can buy one

knock yourself up a blanking plate mike. a nice matt black sheet of plastic. rip out the vent completely. cut it and sand the plastic to fit how you want it and mount it in there.

would look loads better imo

I've heard its messy, I want to give it a go aswell :)

Once you get the overall shape right it shouldn't be too bad, then sand it down

fibergalss is messy, but its fun aswell. i once stuck my glasses to my hand with resin hehe :D

but seriously it is really easy, the hardest bit is getting the hardner amount correct. but as arun said. you can make it as round as you want and then just sand it through to perfection.

your giving me ideas now hehe.........
