Post by: ROH ECHT on October 23, 2015, 12:03:52 am: If the vents are the same size...there are outer vent mounts for LH drive that would have the angle you seek for a center vent mount on a RH drive.
This is a LH side vent mount...if it would fit a center vent, it would have the correct angle for your center mount you seek: https://www.ecstuning.com/Volkswagen-Golf_V--2.0T/Interior/Gauges/ES2075349/

No mate, its bigger and slightly curved more. i was looking for a center one and gave up (Pretty Quickly) i fitted my drivers side gauge last night and its not as badly placed as you think.
i would still prefer it in the middle though so let me know if you have any luck :happy2:
