Thumbs up scanguage 2 fitting

just received my scangauge 2 from obduk i have just run the wire in but i am not sure were to put the gauge its self
i removed the 2 panels either side of the radio and fished the wire below the radio

then fed it up under the steering column and zip tie to the loom

then fed it up the side of the dash following my road angel cable

here are a few options to locate the gauge
1

2

3

4

any more ideas will be much appreciated

RV Mirror, cable up A frame and behind the sun screen panels?
There is a very good CNC item on ebay, search under scanguage.
This is radically better than the item on the GB thread too but unsure about clearance.

I am thinking about centre console, under the slider as it does little else!

More importantly, what do you think of it and does it work well.

We are just about to order 25ish in the group buy and I expect the guys would love some feedback from an S2000 owner first

Obviously, I was thinking of inverting it and having it below but maybe it woul;d obscure the view for taller drivers so having a rethink now mate.

I think it would live just above the radio door, off to the left a bit like you would pop a Brodit mount in behind the trim panel. A sliver of metal would go up under the dash and the radio door vents perhaps?

Timdon, looks like a minicab
