Looking at getting a boost gauge for my LCR soon, and want something that matches the standard LCR dials as best as they can, Will prob also get a Nomad pillar pod, is the cheapest place direct from nomad as this is around £40 from them?

Autogauge from halfords and yes the nomad is just over £40.

I'm thinking of going double pod now.


Here's a single pod in grey

They have a nice orange glow at night too. Matches the dash lights perfectly! And yeah get the pod direct from nomad.

I really want to do this myself. Is it difficult to do?

It's a bit fiddly and a pain in the arse to get from the engine bay to the dash, but overall it's not too bad. I'm a complete amateur and I managed it :p

It's best to put the boost gauge feed from as close to the FPR as possible though and not from the top of the DV like in that guide. There's loads of topics about how to wire up etc.

You'll have to come see in a couple of weeks Phil :).
I meant orangish red...it matches the dash colours - that's the important thing. They only have silver...I sprayed mine satin black. Was a PITA but worth it in the end.

Phantom from real steel looks very close when fitted with a red led bulb. If you wanted all it needs is to be taken apart and have the needle painted to be spot on which must be possible
