A-Pillar Gauge pod? - C.A.R. - 24-09-2012
Can anyone recommend one?
Don't want to end up with anything tacky or shit.
And before anyone suggests it - I currently have one mounted in the air vent. It looks shocking. Awful.
The A-pillar pods look much more OEM (and I want my vent back lol).
There're loads on eBay but many look tacky, I just want one which will blend in well with the standard textured ABS plastic. It's also only needed for 1 gauge (boost) at 52mm diameter.
Cheers in advance...

I know you said don't suggest it......but......these look more OEM than in the driver's vent........and better than an A pillar pod

A-Pillar Gauge pod? - Frosty - 25-09-2012
I got an A pillar pod in my D turbo. I can't remember where I got it from though. Have a search on google. Also get 1 that is for a 306 cuz the universals 1s are a waste of time!!
Just found where I got mine from http://www.body-kit.co.uk/section.php/1648/1/gauge-mounts
This is mine fitted

Gareth, I'm tempted - where do you get these from?
RE: A-Pillar Gauge pod? - Tyronnster - 23-10-2012

RE: A-Pillar Gauge pod? - gareth7 - 23-10-2012

See, I don't like the fiberglass/moulded jobbies, I think it looks more oem if you just cut it into the vents, like so:

Ah my old thread. I ended up doing the same as Frosty in the end, looks very smart IMO

Nice pod - where did you get it from?
Nice gauge too - same question, if I may?
RE: A-Pillar Gauge pod? - C.A.R. - 25-10-2012
The gauge pod is made by uk company RGM, I managed to get mine 2nd hand on the gti6 forum, otherwise they're about £30 new, but you don't need to trim it or anything it fits right on in like 5 mins. The gauge is a Stack model, again mine was second hand from another source.

That's great to know - thank you. It looks ideal!
