Sounds like fun. Is the Pillar a perfect fit? Heard good things about Nomad's stuff but also one or two horror stories.

Some people on seatcupra.net have had them not fit right, and having broken their original A pillar in the process of fitting they were stuck without one for a few weeks. More good stories than bad however.

What gauge you using? Autometer?

Cool, might get round to buying mine sometime. Rather have one with a black face though, but I notice those black ones have chrome surrounds Tacky. Glad its backlit red though, looks smart.
