.
If cost isn't an issue then DEFI are reputed to make the best and also have more features if you also buy their control unit.

If you want the OEM look (on a Mk5 Golf) - Newsouth matches the OEM instrumentation.

Check out the forum's Review section.

Im liking the DEFI one, but its backlight doesnt match at night, apparantley its to bright.  but looks the nuts.

i ideally wanted something angled in the air vent on drivers side.   The ECS one looks good, i will read the review.
my main concern is to have everything matching the OEM lightling/display.

thanks

does the newsouth gauge come in the air vent at a angled view?
those that dont go in at a angled view and are straight, are they still easy to view from the drivers seat
any fitters around the london area?

....No, not angled when in the airvent.

No, not so easy to read either - Read my review I linked - It's got pictures!
