Default gauges

Hi all, was looking at gauges for the dash. Are the durite range any good? I was going to fit one of those fancy electronic all in one dash setups, but then the rest of the dash is bare, and I sort of lean towards old school dash.
Cheers
Shaun

Feel the same, the head would tell you to go for the digi all in one but the heart says fill the dashboard with smiths clocks

I used a set of VDO gauges from a Westfield, they come up on the Westfield forum quite often. Got mine for £120, brand new with all the senders, see piccie below. Dash is mdf, foam and vinyl.
