They look quite good... depends on the dash as to whether they will fit, and you may have problems with the eyebrows. Did you get/can you get senders to match?

Can't see any reason why not....you might have to be a bit "creative" to make them look right though. Its possible to make pretty much any dial work with any sender with a bit of inginuity! They're pretty much all only variable resistors anyway! Remember some of the functions obviously won't be used on the 7 such as ABS (unless your a flash g*t!)....Oli.

Look good if you can mount them in a dash nicely. Have a few too many warning lights for a 7 'door' being rather ironic Matching senders will be needed. If you can get them behind the wheel sensibly the lips shouldn't be a problem.

On a separate note, does anyone every actually use a rev counter? For road driving I don't care about revs, on the track rev lights are useful, but if you're looking at a rev counter you probably aren't concentrating enough on road position.

well i can arrange the senders for them... as oliwb said they are basically variable resistors or any type of pulse input...
well thanks for the replies so i think i should go for them, and about the rev counter, i wont be using my locost on track as they aren't any in my country, my car will be a sort of daily runner, and there are drags organized here on closed of roads, so in a drag i think i can look at the tachometer shift...
