Are you 100% sure you want it to put it there?

I'm getting mine fitted opposite the starter button, the 2-gauge pod that's fitted now is a total pain, and the clock is a) too far away and b) too useful for telling the time

I'm still having trouble finding an easy place to route the piping from the engine bay to the interior. Someone suggested the grommet in the left rear corner of the engine bay. I put the piping through there but I can't see where the piping reappears! Seems to just disappear into the inner wing. I've also seen the "route around the door pillar" method but I'm looking for something much neater and hidden. Any suggestions?

You could use the grommit under the scuttle panel on the passenger side, the route back along under the dash. That's what mine does.

You're nearly there. Once you've fed it through the grommet at the rear left of the engine bay, it needs to go through another hole which is revealed by pulling back the side panel (the one housing the side repeater, behind the offside front wheel). You need to undo three allen-head screws and then you can gently prise back the top of this panel to reveal another hole. Feed it down through that hole and it should go through to the cabin. It will head towards a fairly large grommet located underneath the carpet right next to the bonnet release cable. Sounds complicated I know, but persevere and this is the neatest route into the cabin, IMHO.

I replaced my clock with a boost gauge & now wished I hadn't, I miss the clock & it's not really convienent to watch when giving it some welly. I'm going to put the clock back & either get a pillar pod for the Boost & AFR or might cut them into the dash in the vinyl just to the right of the centre console. But I have concerns that they won't be that visable there either.

I think the a-pillar trim is Coupe specific, from Nomad. Unfortunatly for me and all others driving a LHD Coupe they only make RHD versions.

Ouch, it's £70!
Anyone got experience with the universal pillar pods? Are they possible to fit without making holes in the pillar trim?
(Thanks for the suggestions regarding the hose routing, job done).

That looks like an Autogauge pod, which doesn't fit very well, even with alot of trimming.
