Firstly.. if it works I wouldn't bother with getting the other one fixed get ya money back.. Not eveything is better cause it costs more...

But i would be sceptical miek to rely on a halfrauds one.

Why... you should be more sceptical of your front mount.. I'd have tought you of all people would be behind mike for trying something differen.... like i said... becuase its cheap don't mean it's rubbish... one way to fnd out try it :D


Well i am sendign the other one off at mo, but for £20 if its crap I'll take it back to Halfords, but a few of the Punto GT boys run them with no issues... look good to, but I havent seen them myself yet...

Mike

No point in quoting punto guys on here... if they are "stupid" enough to go buy a punto then they are "stupid" enough to get a cheap gague... lol

Honeslty tho Mike, if you like it and it works keep it :D

So far it seems to look nice.. can't wait to see it all lit up :D

Mike it is the same make as my smoked one fella, is ok, when off sits just below zero thou :confused: but works fine, does buzz thou whick is annoying, but the sterio normally drowns that out :) Did you try that guage i lent you??? did it work after i took it apart?

Seli..what is wrong with punto's? I had a GT, kept breaking down nut sounded great...and went like a rocket.

Yours wouldn't fit/sit or connect up right mate, so I have it here for you next time we meet up! Sorry...

Scottys was poo too, hence why I bought a new one (cheap) one!
