Aftermarket Gauge install on my 2014 Paceman S All4

I was looking to add a boost gauge and another gauge to the "cluster" in my mini. My RPM gauge is slightly recessed into the dash and I was wondering if anyone has pictures or links to a gauge pod that works. also, sugestions for a second gauge, one that I should be watching? TIA

I have the guage pods by cravenspeed and I love it. Great quality and they go with the marshal guage which match the mini style the best In my opinion.

Do you have pics? Can't help but wonder what was going thru the engineer's mind when they recessed the tach.

I see C/S ones are $120 plus shipping. That's alot of $ for a piece of metal, just sayin.

yeah the cravenspeed one is pricy but it's worth it when u match it with the marshal guage. The guage fits perfect. The guage doesn't stick out the back or look out of place when installed, super clean. I ordered the alta pod holder first and once installed the guage stuck out the back and just looked funny.

Don't blame the engineers, it was the stylists.

Yep, it seems expensive but the fit and finish are excellent. See pics here: https://www.cravenspeed.com/conventi...or-gen-2-mini/
