Normad Racing Gauge Pods

[CupraR_Lad]

Hey guy's
I ordered a seat leon cupra pillar pod black double 52mm RHD from normad racing and received the item yesterday!

I took a good look at it, and it seems to me that its not made very well!!Don't get me wrong it does match the pillar very well indeed!!

But the thing that's bugging me is the gauge pods are ripply if you know what I meen! I will get a pic in a bit and show you what I'm talking about, I think they have done a bad job on this pillar, Surly it should be smooth not with ripples in it!!!

Thanks...Wayne

Pics to come soon!!

Yip that's standard.

Ahh I didn't realize that! I have a few pics anyway!!!

 

[LEE69]

That's a bad finish with the line/crack on it.

 

[CupraR_Lad]

Yeah that's what I'm getting at!! Does look bad!!

 

[LEE69]

Mines nothing like that, mines grey anyhow.
Looks like you have black material over the top of the grey pillar i have, is that right?

I think it's Fibreglass! but I'm guessing they do separate one's for the Gray!!

mine arrived this week, i would agree but thats fibreglass for you, you cant get it that smooth, nomad tried to make the style like in my avi but they couldnt get it smooth enough.

 

[CupraR_Lad]

I'm going to send it back to nomad and they are going to replace it for me,and also refund the cost of sending the first one back!!

i sent pics of my guages that were in a nomad double pillar, but that one you have is exceptionally poor. get them to replace it. i also found the nut on the back of the boost gauge too long so it catches on the back of the pod.
not the best quality item but not much choice either

 

[Nev_LCR]

good work, mine wasnt that bad.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

same here surly u could make the same effect (orange peele style) as the rest of the pillar is done like it ??

 

[Nutkin]

mine is a bit like that but it doesnt really bother me.

Its better than having something sticking out your a pillar in plastic.

And i wanted 2 gauges so this was the only option without loosing half my air intakes lol.

I also dont like the air intakes as they are hard to see.

 

[sheffboy]

They're all a bit rough but I agree, your's is exceptionally bad.

At least they've offered to exchange it.

 

[CupraR_Lad]

Yeah! I will be sending the pillar back on Monday!! let's hope I get a better replacement!!

 

[D.K]

I was thinking of getting one of these, Dont think I'll bother now

I'm sure others are ok matey it's just my bad luck! I always get the Crap stuff!! Lol!

 

[BoomhaueR]

I quite like the smoothish fiberglass next to the orange peel skin. And I like my air vents as air vents so the pod does the job nicely!

It looks like yours is a one off bad pod though. You should get a good one to replace it...they have good customer service.

that does look bad mate nothing like mine send them back
