this is the one i made. i bought a utility box from wilkinsons and used the black plastic on the back, its a similar texture as the clock too. it came up slightly too short but for £2 im not moaning
and yes i am pissed off the previous owner must have used a flat head to remove the fans

Here's a pic of my Autometer ones in my S1. Ford Racing ones are made by Autometer, as you can see they are identical apart for the logo.

What to the roof lining

When you can get a gauge holder like this there no point cutting up holes in plastic where you can see it



There 3 pod holder takes out the clock and you can get it with the satin finish
