Finally got chance to fit the speedo, rev counter etc LEDS today
easier job than i thought it would be, unlike the centre console!

removed steering column cowling.....



clock surround . . . . .




clocks out......



old(green) v new



removed 3 green ( 1 already done).....just wondering, what are the rest of the empty holes for?



the after pic does it no justice. what so ever!




also tidied my mirror crap




purchased a lambda sensor yesterday, going to fit that tomorrow and hopefully my poor running after first start up, and eml light coming on when i put my foot down will stop! also hope my fuel economy goes up! its horrific!

sorted the bad running finally, replace lambda sensor but it wasnt that. turns out it was the mass air sensor. everything is fine now. the 1.0 actually feels fast haha.

anyone know where i can get a stealth exhaust? i want one that sounds good but isnt on show, i like the clean back without the exhaust on show like it is now
