Just collected my new P1 - simply awesome.

Whilst at the showroom, I saw another P1 with additional gauges on the dashboard in place of the storage bin - does anyone have any info on these?

Thanks
Rod

They are a heck lot more useful than the "storage" [sic] bin. Do a search on guages or pod & a wealth of info should turn up.

A picture...



The pod can be got from your local dealer & the guages from a host of excellent sources.

Problem is, my wife won't let me have one

HTF do I know

This is a pic that Sunil ( <B>P</B>) sent me to wind me up as to what my missus won't let me have in PTMW!

Guess as to Oil Temp - Oil Pressure - BOOOOST Guage

AS to assist - don't care - look good (like a CF Strutbrace )

Question

Hi guys,
Do you know if you can buy the pod of the guages on its own? or anyone that could make something like it? I've been thinking about putting a GPS in the scoob for a while now - and after a recent trip into london , i think it could be a wise move. I would be looking for the screen to go where the guages are in the pic above, though if need be i know i could take out the vents. It would just be alot easier and look alot better i feel if i could get something like this made up.

Extra dials? No. Use the bin for what is was made for - holding a Bel 990i radar detector.

Do you not have a problem with the wipers being in the way of the sensors with the detector mounted there?
I have been looking for somewhere sensible to put mine, but have yet to find anywhere more appropriate than the top left corner of the windscreen.

Cool

Hos,

Give SQ Plus a ring on 0161 748 1600

They kitted out a P1 with full VDO Dayton satnav and made up a pod for the centre binnacle to store the screen. It looks a little upright and isn't exactly subtle for the thieving fraternity but there you go. It was featured in the September issue of redline!

On the SatNav front, Alpine do a unit which fits into the standard stereo cut-out and when the unit is switched on the screen slides out and tilts up.

Great from a security point of view as no-one sees the screen unless the unit is switched on.

Puff,

Well if it looks good (which it does) I might have to get one... re the CF Strut....I think I already have one of those in the P1....do I need to show it off...if so where should I mount it? It seems to fit quite nicely under the bonnet....but maybe it could be placed elsewhere so all could see it???

Thanks for your comments
