Ive been looking for gauges, my car needs some nice ones.

Oil pressure
Water temp
Boost
AFR

i love the classic look like some of the smiths range but they dont do boost gauges, this is a bummer as i would like all to match.

Then i find SPA gauges they are smegging expensive but look the nuts and the do combined gauges etc. What are peoples opinions on these gauges?

Does anybody know of any very good reliable brands? i want somthing that does not look like a christmas cracker toy it has to have good build quality about it and be a nice look.

any help opinions ideas welcomed:D

Mocal guages. Reliable, not chavvy, no bling, pretty accurate, excellent customer service and as cheap as you'd want.:) They look like this:

Digi oil pressure and oil temp, boost.

Should have kept these gauges for my 5. :crap:

Highly rate the SPA gauges! They look good and if something does ever go wrong you have good support at the end of the phone!
