Re: RE: Heres how i did mine

Looks really nice mate. what is the red button? do you have a link for these. Darren Link as above :) The red button controls all the functions of the gauge, I'd have to refer to the manual as to what functions it has though, I really like SPA gauges, use them in my mini too :) . http://www.mini-pe...
