It's not the nice shiny texture of the rest, bit like it's been rubbed dull about half a cm all along the front edge. Moulding problem I'd assume. Unsure on getting a refund just yet. Don't feel it's worth the price though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had them for 12 months now and no issues and pretty sure they can still be bought on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at it just then outside, it's "ok" and I'm losing the willpower to kick up a fuss at BPT. They haven't answered my email from over 24 hours ago either.also have bought the 3 gauges already dean!yeah I bought the race tech ones from ebay Edited 25/06/10 06:16 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are autogauge and you can buy them from a member on here.My Car :: All three gauges start video by AK6T - PhotobucketI now have Cobalt autometer gauges. Much prefer the autometer as they seem to work faster with no delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice gauges are around 150 a pop. I'd prefer them but I do have to work within a budget. Also realised insurance is up for renewal again soon, was 13 or 1400 last time. That will slow me down!Maybe if I bothered to ask to see some top shelf gauges in action and could compare to cheap ones I'd have ordered differently...too late for that though! If they suck ass I'll sell em Looked ok in the vid, I can imagine the startup time could be improved though (just realised you have the vid up of the old faster ones right?). Vid of the new ones?
