Made a cracking job of that! Was that a moulding or something you knocked up from scratch?
Syvecs **** fits quite well in there! Its not exactly a discrete size is it.

Hey guys,
Finally got the dash done, although this is a whole lot neater than having 3 in a hood and 3 up the a pillar im still quite tempted to ditch the lot in place of a single Toucan display.
Nothing will be as instant on the eye for reading data than indevidual meters but a single screen would be a whole lot neater.
I think im going to see how i get on like this and if need be take it all out and start again haha.
Any thoughts?
Sorry for the cak iphone pics, my computer wont dalk to Photobucket right now lol

Gonna replace the horrid cap heads with some smooth buttons, to try and make it look less garish but it can't really be seen much from the rear of the car.*
I was sick and tired of my bumper melting from the radiant heat of the exhaust tip so decided to finally do something proper about it.*
Tried the dei self adhesive reflection mat and that burns off too.*
So gone with a more permanent solution, I just hope this works.*
If the exhaust tip colour I anything to go by its seeing between 270/340 degrees C.*
Toasty!

I like you gauges mate, know what your saying about the toucan being neater, but youve done such a good job of making this look OE, i think its pretty spot on!
If i was being super critical, id say theres a dead area to the left of the hazard switch would have been a great place to recess the knockbox (assume its a knockbox in front of the gearstick????)
Main thing is youve got them easy to see, differentiate between, without being too in your face and scattered all over the pilars and any available space! 95% of why i dont like loads of gauges is due to how theyve been swueezed in.
I went down the toucan route ..... not got the car back from final mapping to use it properly yet.

Frayz, i think it looks fantastic as it is....very OEM looking but with so much detail
The only thing i would change on the dash would be the STI clock's from blue to black to match the Defi's (easier than the other way with the amount of Defi's you have there!)
Exhaust shield is good too, quite hidden from standing up i bet too

Ah that track looks familiar! Ran round that last year 
Nice pics there, whats the science behind the bushes then Frayz? You say it has improved gear changes?
