Gauge query (Corsa VXR)

[southbynorth]

I love the idea of having a gauge or two in the car, but dislike the two common options for the Corsa of the standalone pod or the mpg pod above the stereo display, neither look particulary right to me

I have seen Astra conversions that look great, above the stereo, I realise the Corsa is more restricted to space, but do people think it would be possible to go to an aftermarket single DIN stereo and maybe fit one or two gauges in?

Not being very DIY or mechanically minded I have no idea whats possible/not possible, plus minimum size gauge that can be purchased/fitted but I love the idea and it would be great if it could be done..would look far more OE then the two main options..

Found a thread with the Astar conversion that I refer to to show what I am blathering on about

If u was to swap to a single din aftermarket head unit there would be a gap underneath or above the headunit that should be big enuf for 2-3 gauges. R33CYE on here has a single din unit pm him for sum pics and you will see wat I mean

Cheers Chris, I will send him a pic, I will have to google someone local to fit the things, if I fit them I will be lucky if the car turns over afterwards
