I want a boost gague....

I was thinking something along the lines of an A pillar housing and a custom dial so it matches the standard ones exactly!

I recon I could make a pretty close one using corel and some matt finish acetate! as I've made some stuff for work using that method...

All I need is a gague with the red needle to match! Anybody know of one?? pete??

Or a broken instrument cluster I could rip bits out of!!!

No need for the faffing mate, which is unusual for a Leon..

I want one as well and I know VDO make exactly what we're after. Boost gauge with matt black face, red needle, white lettering with a red backlight. Perfect...

Only problem is I can't find a website with a full list of them on, I had it but the bookmark isn't in me list anymore..

As soon as we have the model number then I have the details of a company that should be able to get them for us, just need to find a website with the numbers and pics on..

The one in the second link looks like the one I'd seen. The first one matches but isn't quite right..

I found a page which had every VDO gauge on it with the part numbers, but I can't find it again...

Cheers my man that looks kool

Still think the dials look a bit shag though pete

Yeah they do... Not what I'd seen at all.. The one in the picture on your link with the A pillar looks better, I think it says greddy on it...

The autometer boost gauge (ultralight series) has a red needle on a brushed aluminium background with black lettering and has selectable coloured backlighting too

I got mine from Mik at Impossible for £50 including fittings about a year ago

Found it!!!

It's almost perfect...

http://www.overboost.com/obs/produc...t_name=Gauges and Pods&sc_id=41&sc_name=Boost

number 16000212 is a 60mm one and 16001002 is a 52mm one. Perfect except that the needle is white, but that could be sorted easy enough with some model paint.

Just need to find a UK stockist now and I'm gonna get one I think..

NOW see if you can find one to match the MY03's white dials!
