piece of piss really. if you have a manual showin you how do it. i could explain if you really wanted me to. i had to spray paint the needels black though as you cant see the white ones at all. and they are hard to see at night aswell because i have blue lights behind them. but i love them.

Nice dials. A tip for the parcel shelf is to get some foam andglue it down under the material to keep it tight. It will be soft, but it makes trimming it a lot easier. Or you could glue it all down with some impact adhesive.

I see your date display goes off when you put your stereo on too

If you cut the white wire (i think) on the stereo loom it will stay (so i'm told)

The LED is from the Clifford G3 range. For the sake of a couple of quid, I'd say its worth making it look like a newer alarm.
I won't go any further into it.

Just had a look at another car with the same dials and they are the same...

Are they connected or could you move them?
