Help me decide

[Cupra137]

Setting up some gauges in the centre console mount but can't decide between these 2 types.
Going for oil pressure and oil temp, and would like it to still look OEM.

Has anyone used either of these before/can shed any advice or recommendations?!

you got a cupra? if so the dials are white backs with red numbers!

 

[Cupra137]

Yeah a cupra, i couldn't find any on ebay etc that had a white back, red dials and within my price range, so thought either of the 2 above wouldn't look too garish

What dials have you got just now? Boost and AFR are a priority if you don't have them already.

Just a boost gauge, mounted on the dash. Trying to keep them all in line with the styling and not looking too garish though

honestly boost and oil pressure have to be more important!

but if it where me :
boost
oil temp
oil pressure
AFR
voltage
water pressure


been considering having boost and oil pressure in cupra R guage pod (in the center console) and then mount 3/4/5 guages inside the glove box. ie you have to open it to see em. so that when im driving spirited i can see em and when im sedate they can be hidden away.

Both look awful imo. Cheap and nasty.

Get autoemeter gauges or Defi.

Thanks for the advice, I've steered clear of the ebay ones, and have settled on a pair of these... http://www.rockshore.uk.com/oil-temperature-gauge-with-black-dial-face---52mm-4204-p.asp

got oil temp and oil pressure as already have boost.

Hopefully should end up looking something like this...http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=72432&highlight=oil+pressure+guage

autoguage are ok if you want cheap guages. match the original dials a treat
