Retrofit an RS monitor from the 200s, they have an oil temperature gauge as well as other info.
Someone successfully fitted one to a twingo, afaik, the mk2 twingo is based on the 1*2
Get an early 197 with no options, you can pick them up for £3/4k.
There's no point paying a premium for a 200 or a nice 197 when you're going to strip it.
The 197s don't make 197bhp as standard so bare that in mind.
You can however pick up early optionless 197s for £3/4k now. So that's a good starting point.
Buy a cheap one, sell the interior, fit seats and a diff and enjoy the better out of the box handling and slightly newer car.
I imagine there will be a module you can plug in which will fold them in and out when the car is locked and unlocked.
There's a module that does that on mk3 civics.
I'll see if I can find one for you because it's not a bad idea tbh.
Edit...
@gaz-williams, fancy this one?
Of course it's fine, ive got some people coming from Wigan too, want me to try and sort something out for you to meet them?
If you can find me some more pictures (ideally him with a sad face) I'll have a go for you. If you like/use it, I'll just take a box of beers :smile:
Also. Don't go to that tattooist ever again lol. If they're that s**t with their time/art, I'd hate to see how they drive a tattoo machine!
