Middle Dash Vent Blanking Plate ??

[vw-sc-1]

I measured one of the ebay.de plates with a view to getting a few made. In the end I got let down. Attached the drawing I did.

This one in OE looking carbon fiber, or in mat black as the OE airvent, without the logo would suit me, just got to find the "manufacturer"

Could we get a group buy on these...surely we can get 50 members together?! There's me and 2 others interested for a start...

You can get the single alloy gauge vent on ebay.de for about £30ish

How that's made?

Just cut the stock vent to fit the guage.

Just cut the stock vent to fit the guage.

Really? That was My firs idea too... But when I try - just broke around about 2-3 vents.
How to cut it clearly ?

Not the neatest job, but only took a couple of minutes so it does me.

I pulled out the horizontal strips first with needle nose pliars. Dont loose the little clip that holds it in the dash, it falls out one you have broken some stuff off.

Thanks mate.

I just made one in MDF, sprayed in satin black, fits perfectly with the rest of the dashboard...

I did mine (very slowly!) with a hole saw then file and sandpaper it to tidy up. Get rid of the horizontal bits first and watch out for the clip

I have a Ali plate that holds three 52mm gauges for the center vents.

Sat here doing nothing if any one wants it

[diogocartier]

I just bought the one from ebay.

Let's wait....

Freeze the vent into a block of ice and you can drill it with ease.
