If money was no object, I'd go with Defi gauges.

plenty of choice out there..

"Defi" come highly recommended

check out http://www.ebay.com.au

but make sure that the seller ships to Ireland before you buy.

www.ebay.com can be good as well..

In either case make sure you get in the unit of your preference (Farenheit or Celcius).

Mitsubishi do a nice oil temp gauge that replaces the volt meter and doesn't ruin your dash like most aftermarket gauges. depends on the look you want of course. some people like loads of extra dials

Got mine off ebay, but they have their own website too..
http://www.autodials.co.uk/
Got the "smoky" ones, like the blacked out effect when they're off.

Personal preference I guess. Any Defi gauges I've seen look class, are very well made and are pretty reliable.

Have used Autodials myself in the past, they're cheap but reasonably decent. The only criticism I would have is the backlighting could be better.
