My new gauges

So I finally got around to taking some pics of my new gauge setup. I have the Marshall Instruments MINI Cooper gauges. The Oil Pressure and Boost Gauges are set in the OEM MINI Aux Gauge Kit housing. The Water Temp Gauge is in a 52mm gauge pod by Craven Speed mounted to the Z-Bracket with a 1.5" Eyebone extension. I am very pleased with the way they turned out.
I will install the Oil Temp and Volt Gauges in the lower gauge housing below the toggle switches. That won't be for a few months though.
Anyways here are some pics:

I will take some daylight pics tomorrow. The console trim piece is part number 82 94 0 418 483. There is not a price listed here I obtained the trim piece as part of the OEM Aux Gauge Kit which I received as a gift. I sold the gauges but kept the trim piece because I really liked the way it looked and fit.

So I was able to get out and take some pics of the gauges. I got home around 5pm so it was dusk outside. I had to open up the aperture a bit to get better lighting.

Looks great. I really like the idea of using the OEM MINI Aux Gauge Kit housing. Did the Marshall gauges pop right in the housing or was there some modification required?

Wondering the same thing as the only thing the car is missing is the monitoring guages.I guess it is a BMM/MINI thing.It would certainly help in a maintenance perspective.
