I wonder if any of you kind people could measure the size of the cubby hole for me, Width, Height and depth is what im after. I havnt got my car at the moment so cant do it myself.

Much Appreciated

Anyone?? I've got a bit of free time at work this afternoon and was hoping to use it to fabricate a guage holder similar to the cupra r holder but for a single gauge and still keep some of the cubby space.

Thanks

Not sure whether you mean glovebox or centre storage in front of gear lever, so here are both dimensions:-

Glovebox 335 wide x 120 high x 70-100mm deep
Centre storage 145 wide x 110 high x 180mm deep

Thanks to Pete, I managed to knock something up to mount my McGill Motorsport boost gauge. Only took a few mins using the CNC and Hydraulic bender. Took it home with a bit of filing and rubbing down got it to sit nicely in the cubby hole.

It sits at the bottom so there is still a bit of storage space. Trimmed it up, and i think it looks quite tidy. I'll get some more pics later whe i wire it up and fit it.

Looks nice mate. i just bought the cupra R centre one but that looks good.

Thanks, I was gonna go for the cupra R holder but just fancied being able to keep the cubby hole and really not fussed at the moment about another gauge

looks really good mate i suppose it probably worked out chepaer than buying a cupra r gauge holder aswell?

Yep everthing was free, found the leatherette on an old subbox that someone had left in the workshop at home. Just a bit of time

So do you still have a some space under it then to store junk.

Does look quite good though

I'll have to keep my eye on that, what issues did you have?

I Put the pod at the bottom of the cubby, the original idea was to do it at the top and but it looked alot neater at the bottom and i've still got cubby hole space between the pod and dash.

well when i had the orginal unit in it was fine for about a month, then the digital display just was stuck on 0.3 bar and didnt move no matter how hard you had your foot down, now with the second sender in it works fine for about 10 mins the slowly starts to creep up after a little while of driving, i have a second guaeg that they sent me but i really dont want to fit it all over again to get the same results.

one thing i will say id mcgill have a very very good service, if you do have any problems they will do what they can to help
