Question External Temp Gauge

Hi all,
I was wondering if there is anyway to fit the 06 onwards external temp gauge module to my 04 one? Whilst I love my car I am attracted to the VSA and external temp gauge on the 06 onwards ones. My other half thinks I am crazy to even consider swapping mine as it really is in mint condition but these things lacking it really bugs me! What would a resonable difference between the two models cost me? I'd hope to get 12.5K for mine (34K miles GT with hard top and stand etc etc).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance :-)

Not really sure about fitting the gauge but if your buying....

I dont think you will get the best deal on yours at the moment. I saw a new S at a Honda dealer with a 100miles on today going for

Stick you finger out - if its cold, it might be icy, simple!

Saying that, if anyone know of a smart -retro-fit external temp gauage let me know, cos I do like having one for interests' sake!

That would be THE dearest temperature gauge in history if you do that.
VSA is a safety feature for the incapable.

Now I'm off to hide for a bit....

It is nice to know the external temp gauge, but swapping a MY04 for a MY06> sounds crazy!!

Last night I did drive home thinking it was 0>1C but in fact it was -7C!!

Just take it easy from November > February and you'll be fine!!

Do you want to fit one for 19p?

Might be a cheaper option

Maplin Temp module+display

Also the racelogic traction control.

Racelogic do a traction control system that's a little pricey, but very, very good.

My ford fiesta has a very rare clock i've fitted to it which has a temp gauge i'e mounted in the front chassis cross-member. The same gauge & clock can be acquired on ebay for little more than about
