Default Gauges choice Prosport vs ShadowPro

Hi, I'm currently looking around for my christmas present and I decided that I'm gonna ask Santa for gauges, but he seems got no clue which one to give me so what's your thought between shadow pro and prosport, I don't want to spend nearly £200 more for defi so I need to decide between this two. Thanks in advance.

Another vote for prosport, just fitted a set to my car, very happy with them and a good match in Amber colour to the dash.

I bought an ATI pod off of a member on here and then the gauges fro R-Spec, best place I could find.

Went for 60mm in the centre pod and a 52mm boost gauge on the a pillar.

Thanks guys, so far the cheapest ATI pod I found is for £135 from scoobyparts and I'll defo need that, but still can't decide which gauges though, I found one thread in here where one member ( Jura ) has used Shadow pro gauges and was happy with the quality.

Motor Meter is the UK branding for Propsport, that said most gauges come prosport in the uk depending on what model you go for can be multi meter. We can do 10% off the RRP with SN10 Discount Code remember

Thanks Darrell, now it's clear I'm really tempted to get shadow pro as said above they doing now 2 series, I'll have to check how much I'll have to pay for three gauges, but from what I see these are about £80+ each plus pod £140 so it will be about £400 ;/
What's the warranty period for prosport's?

Tbh this function buttons on shadow gauges are putting me off a bit as I don't want to drill the holes in pod to put through wires from the buttons so if I decide to take shadow pro I need to figure out something, can you tell me how you fitted yours Campbell?

I didnt like the the look of buttons on them so I set it all up and just hid them under the pod out of the way I have had prosport gauges before but I find the shadow pro a better looking gauge

I'd like to have an option to check the peak if I want to so with hidden buttons it may be difficult

Just ordered prosport from scoobyworx as with member discount it was the cheapest option, just wondering if they come with wire to daisy chain them or this have to be bought seperate?
