What colour you matching? And for pod or gauges? Easy to install if you know what your doing. All gauges come with fitting kit and instructions.

I got my pod from a US ebayer. I think I paid around £80 delivered.
I imported the gauges from Japan. I paid a bit more than £80 for those tho

I bought the ATI pod from Scoobyparts.co.uk - it's just under £100 - arrived within 2 days of ordering.
The one in the photo is painted, but as it comes it's a near enough match for the dashboard I reckon. Haven't fitted it yet...

Bought the same one and got the same great service. The colour match to the dash is spot on and fitting was really easy !!

Dunno about P1 mate but I'd say the Scoobyparts one nearly matches my dash - I don't think I'll bother painting it put it that way.

Gauges mate? They can be whatever you like - there are loads to choose from, but generally most plump for boost, oil temperature and oil pressure.
"Easy" depends on how happy you are tinkering under the bonnet.
If the thought of that scares you I'd leave it to a professional.
