Has anyone got or seen one of these in a vehicle? Saw the display at Billing but the first thing that hit my mind was the gear change. With it sticking out of the original dash it looks like you'd just be constantly hitting your hand off the dash when you go into 5th, in the 300 TDi anyway.

Hi Maverick
Phil here from raptor engineering.
the dash dosnt stick out any further than the origanal its just taller. It is close on the td5 but it is close to the origanal as well.

I have told loads of these and i have had no problems apart from you cant get a cd in when you are in 3rd.

I have had a couple of td5 chaps who have removed the gear stick and warmed it up at the bottom and bent it back a little, one of them tells me its better than it was before and not so much of a reach to change gear.
rest assured you can buy with confidence. Raptor (thats me) make a high quality product and i can assure you that we stand by our product 100%.

regards Phil

martin we are a brand new company just trying to do the right thing. I was going to post our web site but i assume that i cant. they would get all the help they need there.
the problem is that as the site is brand new a search will not find it the address has to be put in spot on and not in a search bar.
would it be ok to post the site please.

If you could allow this post to go on but remove the address if its not alowed please

thanks again regards Phil

Must admit that I have seen these installed, and they are stumnning and top quality.

Have considered one myself, but don't know how easy they fit to the Td5 dash???

Any advice Phil

I fitted one to my sons 200tdi and it was easy to do, quick and looked real nice. The only issue I had was sometimes I knocked the switches with my hand when I put it into reverse. I will be buying one for my wifes 300 as some stage. Great bit of kit and british made too Thumbs Up
