DD2 in my car, but this is a cheap alternative if you add a basic speedo

Can I have a look at where you mounted the DD2 G Man, I assume it was offset towards the centre of the dash a bit

It was on the flat surface of one of the upright humps just above the steering wheel...
Not ideal, but will later go on the steering wheel and I will put a facia on the dash..
Maybe carbon look sticky back?

Ah ok, so it did fit behind the wheel then? Was that with no Sierra type surround?
I think Ill have to find an alternative surround if I want to mount mych in that area

Looking increasingly like a DD2 Lite for me 
Was hoping to be able to avoid the expense but it just looks so good and looks a pretty straight forward fit.
Can I have a look see where you fitted yours please G Man? Im not sure it will fit behind the wheel on a Vortx, and defo not with a column cover
on.
I think with the DD2, youd want it closer to your line of vision to maximise the shiftlight etc, would be a shame to have it offset to the centre.
Interested to see how it looks in a Vortx

It does fit, but its not staying there...
Mainly because you cant see it with the wheel rim...
My new quick release omp wheel has left a gap between the wheel and the sierra column surround, so I am gonna mount it there or on the wheel...

Ah, ok so even with the sierra column surround there is enough room?
Shame that its obscurred, what size wheel is that with? It may be ok with another size??

**Edited to say I see now from the pics you have it on the sloping part of the dash **
