Help needed - need part no. for cupra R centre console gauge holder!

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah and beige is the right colour then?

excellent stuff.... is it any cheaper direct from VW do you think?

be handy to get the part number

 

[Funkyfin2000]

im guessing gav that you meant to post the link to the GREY ones not the BEIGE ones???

Presume GREY matches perfectly?

 

[gavthelad]

errr yeah probably, the photo on the link looks more grey to me.....as it was fitted to my car when i bought it i cant really confirm. I would say its the right one.....ill get a photo of mine posted tonight if you like??

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah please mate...

beige is the gay bora colour init........

i doubt our car is beige...

the colour in the photo on that ebay link, shows the grey not the beige

thanks again for that info dude....

will be researching.... any pics of inside urs where uve cut the dash?

I didn't take any pictures where I cut the dash/cubbyhole, but it only has to be a slot for each gauge just to allow some clearance. These could then be hidden by the rubber mat when putting back to standard, especially if you glue the mat down.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

excellent news......could jsut go for the same gauges...

had a look at the VDO ones but not a fan

I'd wait to see what AdamHarling's phantom2 gauge looks like first.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

good idea actually

 

[AdamHarling]

Well... it hasen't arrived yet... nor has the car... ho hum.

Phoned Summit and it will be with me within the next 3 days.

Nomad piller turned up... and how dissapointed was I! Not very well made, moulded fibreglass... (I was expecting plastic).. poor cutting / looks like its gunna be a pain in the arse to fit.. and I hope all the rough bits are covered up well when fitted...

Also... the texture on the pod is totally different to the piller.. looks like a lump of plastasine stuck on a standard piller.. that the worst bit for me... looks very hand made and a bit lumpy.

However... its not so bad that I'm gunna send it back (cant get em elsewhere anyway)... just hope it looks better fitted.

I agree with you there Adam on the pillar pod, Im looking forward to see your pics with phantom2, as Im thinking about the same gauges myself.

Adam,

Arn't you using the Cupra R gauge pod as well though?

are you having 3 gauges then???

 

[AdamHarling]

I'm putting the boost gauge in the single piller pod (no point having down whre you cant see it when driving)... and I might.. if I can be bothered.. put oil temp and pressure in the R pod...

 

[Funkyfin2000]

ahhh

my r pod has arrived, gonna see if it fits nicely, just still confused and worried about what gauges..

 

[Funkyfin2000]

fitted it today!

Looks good and fits pretty well actually, quite impressed...

now its gauges time...
