Gauges go for your own preference, there are loads out there .

IMO for the gauge pod, get it from Nomad!
www.nomadracing.com

Expensive but a quality piece of kit!

Ive got the nomad dual pod, autometer ultralite boost and oil pressure guages. Looking pretty in my lounge at the mo!

yup nomad all the way

I've got the Nomad twin A-pillar pod (BOOST & A/F RATIO) also got the Cupra R centre console twin plate(OIL TEMP & OIL PRESSURE & AIR CHARGE TEMP).

I could email pics.

nomad pillar pod is good, although quality is shite.

terrible finish and poor fitment, e.g., is too short so theres a gap near drivers door.

 

[cuprabaz]

The 1.5 cm gap at the bottom is the only problem with my one, i've had it off loads of times and never had a problem with the fitment.

 

[Jonzy]

Anyone get/used the velcro strips or just relied on using the screws and door seal?

 

[flashbsd]

na there is no room once youve put the boost gauge piping in and all the wiring, to even get your hand behind to get anything to stick, waste of time

good but a rip off at 69.99 for the finish you get. was a bit peeved to say the least

The finish on mine is pretty good... apart from around the section where the pods blend in with the piller. Its a bit rough.

 

[claudefrog]

the finish on mine is 100% i have it stuck with number plate stickies, nice and padded and also the 2 screws, id go for the nomad pillar, its factory looking in finish

Agreed, Nomad is the only way to go. This in no way means it's worth the £72 price tag though.

Flash do you know any other companies that make the pod's to fit the OE a pillar with a gauge pod then?

Mines good quality, im happy with it, yeah there is a small gap at the bottom, and the colours a very slight different shade. But i dont know anyone else who makes them, and in my mind its a good product!

Although it is expensive compared to the leon one!

 

[hadz]

i noticed the massive price difference between the leon 1 and the ibiza 1! that a bit stupid isnt it! any1 know why that is?

 

[Munky]

mmm..., i was just about to order the single pod from Nomad.., im having 2nd thoughts now tho.. Can some people post up a few pics to show the quality and the gap at the bottom...

Thanks

What other options other than a universal one, which suck, or making your own do you have?
They hold a small monopoly over us, they seem to be the only ones to produce it, so can pretty much chrge what they like!

But its worth it in my opinion, granted its a lot of money, but its a good quality OEM looking gauge pod!
