I'm purchasing a boost gauge for my S1 and am wanting to fit it in a single a-pillar mounting pod which I would like in grey to match the rest of the interior trim.

Who/where can I get one of these. What are the best ones finish wise in your experiance?

Cheers in advance

 

NOMAD

Cheers guys didn't realise Nomad did them in grey as well.

Are these my best option finish wise or are there better ones on the market?

One other Q. when you screw the pod in place, what do you do about the screw heads to make it look a little neater?

 

Martyn is our man

yep and no

nothing special, just use the genuine ones

 

What do you mean 'just use the genuine ones'?

 

ermmm...

 

there's always ebay!

 

or google

 

Motorworld.... kroozin mag... Ł34....

 

I don't understand mate the original ones are not screwed on and the Nomad ones just go over the originals. So what do you mean by 'the genuine ones'???????

 

just go over the original ones ?
do we speak the same language here?
what product are you talking about mate ?

 

Am I being really supid here?

S1's have a grey vinyl trim down the a-pillar. I'm wanting to fit a Nomad a-pillar pod for a boost gauge. The Nomad pods are screwed into the a-pillar. What I want to know is what you lot do about the screw heads showing.... if anything?

Hope that makes sence

 

rs_si is selling a nomad A pillar pod for Ł30

looks to be a singular one too

I'm sure you understand now

vroooom ptssssh

 

NOPE!

Am I talkin a different language

You can see the hole in the a-pillar pod in the pic. This is where you place a screw and screw it into the a-pillar. What do you do about the screw head showing once in place? surely it looks a bit crap with a silver screw showing?

 

ohhh dear...

are you taking the piss out of me mate

that's why I told you in first place too use the original screw, if it's not a black one then take another one which IS black...

 

Obviously not understanding each other

Agreed, a black screw would look better and be less obvious but still not ideal.

You don't seem to understand though the original trims are not screwed in place. They are stuck on. So where exactly are these so called original screws you get me?

 

don't ask me mate, i'm only :blonde:

drill a hole and plug a screw in

 

Well that was helpful.... not

I think I will just start a new thread

 

you need to remove the original part. Drill the screw holes into the piller and then screw the new item inplace with dark screws.

 

if the screw bothers you , id ,get one of then plastic caps, you get on cheap furniture, ( got loads here on my stuff) , then id spray it the colour of the pod, and stick it on with silicone, so it dont drop off,
