The nGauges look terrific, too bad that I bought the Craven/Marshall set last year and then went completely OCD on installing them. (see the How To forum.) Yes it was several hours, very satisfying but I envy the ease of install for the nGauges. Great job on the entire project - aesthetics, engineering, everything. I think you nailed it.
Thanks! I appreciate the complement. You did a fantastic job with that write up, but as you noted this is MUCH easier.

You know I would be happy to have that bezel painted for you if you want to send it to us, but you can probably get your local body shop to hit it as well.

When I peruse the ordering form on your webpage I see I can select r56, r55, r56s, but NOT r55s. I have an r55s. Does that mean the gauges aren't compatible for me yet? Wouldn't the r56 gauges be exactly the same as the r55 anyway since the car is only different in the back half? Perhaps I'm missing something.

Anyway, I was just browsing. Even with the discount code, $500 is way too rich for a boost gauge. The $350+ price of the marshal gauge and brackets was too rich for my blood in the first place...

It IS pretty though. If I had more $$$, I'd buy it. Wish I could support you guys with my wallet, but can't today.

Edit: Thanks Kellen for making a modification so I can get in on the action too! Easy boost gauge w/o opening up the bonnet? I'm in the club! Excellent customer service!

Thanks Ian-

It is just a typo. You are correct the R55 S will not be any different. I will get that corrected.

If you are just looking for a single boost gauge, I could put together a custom setup for you. I will send you a PM.

Kellen,

Is the n-gauge lighting always on or only when the headlights are on?

The amber lighting is always on when the vehicle is running and it is a set brightness.
