After colour coding my MFD fascia in arden blue, I decided to colour code the dial surround from my sport. The pics don't justify the shine, but i'm well chuffed with it. Just waiting on my new perspex cover now as mine is cracked.

What ya reckon?




cheers campers

It's only the 1.6 sports that had the clip off perspex covers. all the 130mph clocks had bonded perspex covers on.

buy a set of Tigra/sport clocks off ebay and the sport cover and perspex will fit the 130mph clocks with rev counter

The best part for me is when you are spraying and everything in the shed/garage starts to float

Cheers Monster

I can't wait either! need to get my momo steering wheel first though, and I'll fit it when I fit that. Also got some oil temp and pressure gauges to go in with a twin A-pillar pod so it should all look pretty nice when done

Cheers
