Default Replacement Cluster Surround with Gauges

I put this in the main SN 'Interior' thread, thoought i would mention it here incase people missed it and were instersted in an 'alternative' method of mounting Gauges.

Basically it is a replacement surround for the instrument cluster with the addition of 2 x 52mm pods for Gauges of your choice. This item is specifically for new age Imprezas for sure, not sure about others though. Again, as far as i know it is a simple direct replacement for the existing one.

May not be you cup of tea, but I like it !!

Just trying to fins a UK supplier to get them in from the US, any more interested ?

These arent a direct fit, the corners are different.

How do you mean mate. I was of the understanding that the OEM surround is removed and this directly fits in its place with the addition of the Gauge pods.

I think Stalked is right mate, the pic shows an American LHD car, so the surround might be slightly different

I can't see how the piece can be different between US and UK. The existing OEM trim must be the same for UK & US models as it looks symetrical to me as does the replacement trim.

I will email the manufacturers direct to be sure though.
Thanks S600B_DC, although there are plenty of US suppliers, what i am trying to find is a UK one who regularly gets shipments from Autometer for gauges etc which they already stock. That way trying to keep the cost of importing down etc.

Cheers mate, email sent for pricing. Thats about 4 UK Autometer stockists i have emailed now, so hopefully one of them will come back with a good price. If i bought one from the US (not including taxes import duty etc) they are only about £30, its all the taxes which makes them expensive for us in the UK

Just got this back from Tokyo Express

He told me that it didn’t fit his right hand drive car since it’s made for the left hand drive car only. Theres a slight shape change it will not fit. Autometer do not offer a bezel for the right hand drive car.
I will email Autometer for a double confirmation and see if i can pursued them to make a RHD version.
