Why do you want them hidden?! Surely you may as well not bother?

Have a look for the MFD gauge pod which replaces the MFD with a 2/3 gauge pod.

If you can't see them when in motion then you may as well not bother tbh.

Agreed, adam, DONT get hacking away at your vents. you have one of the nicest corsa's around, it would be silly to make a bodge looking mod.

go for the second to last pic above the mfd or an A pillar mount. I know a lad selling the mfd gauge holder (if he still has it)

I've seen a pod that actually replaces the whole MFD, it might have been custom but i'm sure someone on Migweb was selling them

Page, ever thought about removing your mfd and making a custom pod to house 3 gauges?

Can appreciate you wanna keep it looking fairly standard, but if it'd look better than putting them on top of the mfd...

Cheers for all the ideas boys! marksport - im not gonna put one in the dash vent, i have got the one that sits on top of the mfd but dont think i want to do that, scott - Thats a good idea to take the mfd out and put something that looks abit like bens focus style, in there, I could do with finding someone thats done it and see some pics first
