mines jsut one from halford matched the dash nicely though
Have u changed the led blubs as they look brighter than the standard?
i had autometer ultralites fitted i mine with twin pillar pod, look very OE looking
just sold the lot and he is picking them up at the weekend
if i was to buy gauges again for the cupra, id definatly go with the defi's, more expensive but they look the nuts !

I'm definately more after an oem look, i think the defi's look great especially in a subaru but all this flying about on startup puts me off & i dont think they match our dash very well because of the white background (although in the leon they fit really well)....the autometer phantom gauges were what i had in my previous cupra & i'm tempted to stick with them....
I also saw some called prosport or something that looked really good? anyone seen these?

I have a plasma boost guage(LED) that i ordered the other week, waiting for a pod to arrive and then i can get it fitted, looks amazing. cant wait to fit it. im going for the racey look so its gonna b mounted on my dash along with another when i get the funds 
no ive just mounted it in a different place so i can use the pocket!
it looks very oem if im honest i have wired it in so it fades with the dash aswell looks good!
only thing i want to do is get some paint a spray the dial surround gunmetal like the oe dash insted of silver
Oh ok kool, im not 2 hot on electrics but i was wondering where i would have 2 wire gauges to fade with dash...
Oh another thing when i received gauges i noticed that the boost gauges button on the front seemed 2 be offset & i tried 2 turn the front face to correct but had no joy & had to remove the 2 goldey screws at the back to straighted the button & now i cant get the screws back in & the elements inside the gauges seems to be vibrating when im boosting. I want 2 open it but not sure if its a good idea.....?

after a bit of a search i think i've found some gauges that look similar to our main dash, they are expensive but it think its worth it..
So i've decided to go for:
- EGT
- Oil Pressure
- Oil Temp
- Boost
are these ok? or should i really have air/fuel? & water temp for my charge cooler? (directed at PJ or any BT owners) what do you run?

You 100% should have Wideband AFR. You have water temp on the dash already but its not as accurate as a number reading and I dont know how your charge cooler would affect it.
Like I said before you should deffo have Boost, EGT and Wideband AFR. I went for Oil Temp over pressure but that was my preference as I thought it was more important than pressure.
