The actual fitting for the gauges can be bought separately on ebay I think. The gauges are 52mm standard ones, although I don't know if the wiring is already there under the panel that you would replace.

This is what I have in a CV8.

The dash pod is on ebay Oz somewhere and the gauges are Aeroforce scan gauges (You need the right set for a CV8 which are different to the 6.)l cars):




BTW you can select whatever readout you want (information comes from the ECU) and there are two channels as seen on each gauge. The wiring and plug is included in the kit so very simple to install.

I assume the eBay pod is easier to fit the gauges into than an OE one, I had to budge fairly hard to get my o2 gauge into a vxr pod.

Yep. They just drop in. Bags of room.

Good stuff, would have hoped so. The VXR gauges are a single unit with an odd mounting pattern, not conventional 52mm mount jobbies.
