R53 MCS Ultragauge install

Just wanted a few more parameters to distract me so my wife and I made a pretty discrete bracket and installed it. I used some longer screws and trimmed them to fit the back of the gauges. (28.5mm if anyone is wondering, this included the 1.5mm thickness of the sheet metal) let me know what you all think.





Changing the reddish color filter to a dark orange to match the gauges but this is relatively the final install setup.

cheers

- Jonathan

Changed the lens tint to better match the vehicles stock back lighting.

Yes, it was affordable and after putting a couple of camera lens filters on it to match the stock gauge back lighting, I love it!
