I've just done it
52mm gauges don't fit in a new age double din if you want to keep the single din headunit.
What i had to do was cut into the top of the dash console and mount the gauges into that.
It took 4 hours just to get the gauges mounted in the dash, let alone sort out the wiring and sensors (which is this weekends job)
Its very fiddly to do as you are cutting curves with nothing to use as a guide with the dash being curved inwards to where the head unit sits recessed back from the dash.
I am pleased with the result, but still needs a bit of filling and re-painting to be perfect.
