Sorry to bump this up again!!
Here's the finished dial's:-
What's your feedback?!!!
SNAP!
Wish mine were matt black now oh well lol!
Regarding your PM CupraR_Lad:
You must be careful screwing in the sensor into the blanking plug. It gets tight quite early down the thread (about 2/3rds the way down) - I thought this was because it wasn't an M10 hole (so bought an 1/8NPT to realise that it was indeed a M10 thread lol)
But look:
I thought the heat did this but its not. It gets tight screwing it in as it hits something in there. So I put my spare sender in with PTFA tape and 2 M10 copper washers.
Hope this helps people in trying to force the sender in lol

I will do mate - might crack one off on the weekend if I get time
What about doing a guide though?
lol. Im suprised yours bottomed out mate, there was a good inch n half before my screw driver wouldnt go anymore. 
CupraR_Lad, where did you get the matt black paint from?
I got mine from Halfrauds. I found satin black a better match for the nomad pod.

I just hope its not hitting a moving part, but it really doesn't feel like it - all seems tickety boo down there

could somebody help me out please, i got the same autogauge oil temp, and the sender i got with it has the red and black wire coming out of it, but cause mine is a diesel and i need the sump plug with the sender built it, the sump plug only has one connector on it for a spade, but the autogauge sender has two wires, what are the wires for?

cheers mate, so all i need now is the sump plug connector and wire it to my gauge, i might sound stupid lol, but the sump plug with the sender built in will basically be earthed as its in the sump?

that is correct - a copper washer should be supplied with it to ensure conductivity
hopefully i get one, i ordered the plug from merlin motorsport
Any of you guys notice on your autogauge oil temp guage the needle with sit at nothing for ages then all of a sudden go straight to about 75-80 is this normal behaviour. Oh aye and like the black paint on the rings looks mint.
Mine does that - needs a tap to make it hit 75-80. But if I leave it it will hit 75 by itself eventually

Mine wouldn't earth itself, so I ran an extra wire from the back of the gauge on the earth prong and earthed that aswell, worked a treat then
i've done that too; i think that is because the thread go tight before the sender is the entire way in, and i've used ptfe tape which is probably insulating it!
