No OEM pods, but they did offer a "chrono pak" that took the place of the center speedo, then moved the speedo over next to the tach for a double cluster. it's too bad they didnt offer anything similar for the r56, because lack of (analog) gauges is one gripe I have, albeit a small one.

Let me know how that turns out. If you guys sell 'em I may be interested in buying a set!

Doubt they'd work at all, but its an idea of what a custom fabbed one may look like

Those are pretty slick. They'd go very well with the MINI interior design. Now you have me drooling too.

It's not hard to make them look right.

We took a new A pillar and 4 Gredy gauge pods to make this for an R53. It was a bit bulky with those large gauges. A smaller diameter would have looked better IMHO, but the data aq system I was using only used that larger diameter.





As a paint shop you should be able to replicate the color and texture of of the OEM finish.

This might be a little off topic, but where can I get a good oil temp gauge?

$295 for two-guage pod shipped to the door ready to be hooked up.
I was going to get boost and temp.
www.altaperformance.com
Adam Taft out of OR was the guy answering all my noob' questions. He was very helpful. I did not purchase this setup (yet). I think temp is crazy important with our turbo.

did anyone ever order the LHD gauge pod from Europe? I wonder what the total cost with shipping was?

Hope this helps. Gauges might pop out.
