the OSIR pods looks really good but sold out for ages. but the more i looked at it i realised how much it is out of place with the rest of the interior.
the DEFI gauge are very nice, but they dont illuminate the right colour with the rest of the lights.

Im leaning towards getting a PODI gauge from my research, its a perfect match for the VW MkV.  just need to find a nice air vent that will work well for it.  just cant seem to find one, ideally i wanted a angled RHD air vent..

OSIR (Mr Riso of Hong Kong) tends to produce his stuff in batches according to demand. Have you checked with the TTshop in Bedford who are official OSIR distributors and have a good relationship with Riso?

T: 01234 853 225

E: sales@thettshop.co.uk

But I agree that the OSIR style mount doesn't suit the Mk5 cabin so well - That's also why I didn't buy one.
