New Mini

Hello,
Have owned my Mini for almost 2 months now and have been loving it so far. Have been lurking and searching and learning a lot on here since then. The car is a 2010 MCS with 74k on it. Have already done a few maintenance things on it like the plugs and coils, cabin air filter, oil change, etc. Next I will be changing the antifreeze.
First couple mods I did was add the Torque Solutions BOV adapter, and the Cravenspeed Stubby antenna, and of course add some tint.
The next thing I would like to do is add some gauges. A boost gauge for sure and probably a Water temp. I would like some help on where to get some mounting options. At first I wanted to put one in the air vent and maybe one mounted to the tach. But I have seen some photos on here with some mounted below the Heater and switch controls in that dead space. I have been searching and searching but can not seem to find anyone that makes a mounting plate for that. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Looking forward to the community!

Thanks!

Here are some pictures. First one is the day I brought it home. Second is day it got tinted about 5 days after I bought it.

Yes I do like that. It just shows that it is discontinued and I couldn't find one on eBay unfortunately. Thanks though!

Welcome

If you are looking for gauges check out the Scangauge as we use them more than any other setup as they are the most cost effective option and give you like 30+ gauges you can scroll through.

Ok, I will check that one out. Thank you!
What about for mounting options as well? As I stated, I would like that deadspace to be filled below the switch panel.

I put mine on the top of the dash.
But the cord it has is about 5ft long so you can put it under the toggle panel.
