I've put mine in the dash to the left of the steering colomn.

Although this was a bit of a pain as the steering wheel is right in the way when u drill the hole. (also once u start u cant change your mind) :P

I wouldd recommend possibly using a hand drill or similar as i've got a couple of sratch marks now (one a couple of cm's deep) around the gauge from where the drill hit it once it had got through.

Would take photos but it is a tad embarrising. But i doubt i'll be selling the coupe (as i am a student this car is as good as it gets for me) so i'll probably write it off before it comes to selling it.

Not a good pic, but I put mine on the window pillar.

I did it in a way that would allow me to remove it if nessecary without leaving any signs of it.

I put mine in the dash, where the starter button on a plus would be. Means cutting a hole but it fits very well and is easy enough to see.

put mine next to the steering column where truffle put his, if your going to put it here use a holesaw and turn it by hand with a socket to make the hole, dont use a drill or else you risk slipping or scratching the surrounding surface

It already has done. I moved it quite a while ago.

How about this.
