Location: Southy Coast		Ive been messing about with an old dash and vents. First attempt and its a little rough around the edges but with a little tiger seal at the back to hold it into the vent body and it should look the part.

Im hoping to put a 2" gauge in for some extra info (probably in the passenger side centre vent so you can see it) and still keep the car a sleeper and looking standard.

Should I leave it as a grey insert or go black? Has anyone tried making anything similar?

Location: Bromley, Kent		Looking good. I put an oil temperature gauge into something similar but it was the black dial surround from a R100. Have a look in my VVC 118 journal
