I think I would of preferred the gauge in the right hand side centre vent... Easier to view there.. Got any pics fella?

Now this was a b1tch but think it needed to be done to match the vent. also wrapped the passenger side earlier this morning, pics with the lot fitted coming as soon as I feel brave enough to go outside again, god it's cold...

Looks good....you caught the bug?

Looking forward to carbon-wrapped steering wheel and seats.

How easy is it do? Is it just peal and stick down, like sticky-backed plastic?

Lol yeah be going round the whole car next... Considering the window switch sections on the doors next...

It's sticky-backed but you have to heat it with a hair dryer to make it more flexible then as it cools it becomes more rigid again, it is awkward but I guess there's a knack to it that you become used to the more you do it...

The first thing I tried to wrap was a disaster, really glad how the centre vent has turned out, didn't think I'd manage to do it tbh

Funny you should ask, I've been busy rewrapping some parts and securing it with superglue as it started to peal when it got warm

Anyway all done now

Picture fest!

Thinking of getting a defy boost gauge myself, how Many wires to wire up and where too mate!

One from the sender as shown in the above link, runs from the engine bay to the control unit. The control unit needs wiring up for power using the stereo and cigarette lighter wiring. And then one cable from the control unit to the gauge

Pretty simple really

Thanks mate, u did a great job but I'll wait till it gets a bit warmer lol.

Top job really like! Looking somewhere to fit my 60mm greddy gauge as i can't find a decent pod...

Was the wire's easy to locate through the vent etc?

winston69

iTrader: (30)

Yeah very easy mate, I'd imagine it's much easier than wiring it up in a pod on the pillar or on top of the dash

Thanks fella! A lot of thought and time has gone into it so really glad people appreciate it. Wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do or if the carbon could be a bit too much...
