Default boost gage on c3? pic request

I have my setup all tore apart and trying to get a good looking boost gage to put inside the car that 'blends' in with the interior. Anyone have pictures of their boost gage on a c3 I would really appreciate it!

I don't have a Picture but a VDO Gauge nicely replaces the Clock on a Late C3 78-82. I use a Black face one and it dosn't look all that far off from the rest of the Gauges.

I think it would look really cool to gut the clock and then find a boost gauge to replace the internals. If you could find one with the right sweep and graduations, you could keep the clock's min hand and have 12 as 0, 3 as 15, etc
