How harsh is the ride on the new bushes?
So i've been working on a Pillar pod, as i hated having the boost gauge just sat in the speaker van, so untidy.
Really wanted it to be flush mounted in to the pillar trim, but i found cutting the A pillar wasn't easy and it still wouldn't of fitted nicely. Tried a few mounts... Nothing was right.
Then Mr South linked me too a proper heater mounted plastic pod and they do direct Nova fitment. So ordered one up. So start prep work on the trim.. As i had cut a hole in it..

Due to the shapes and my anger at wrapping it, i had it flocked.

Looks good mate, any chance of the link to where the pod came from as ive ordered 1 and its soooo wide, no good for the nova! then fitted 1 into the speaker grill bit but not really happy with that.
