Got a zip file with dials that can be printed on acetate!! Courtesy of http://www.centomania.pl! Print on your own colour acetate and liven up the dash! Even get the VW Golf dials look by sticking in some Blue bulbs in the dash!!

Download here www.brickfoot.co.uk/dials.zip if you can't navigate thru the centomania site


Yay!




Coming soon: Cinq lower than a Prostitute's knickers!
 
Thats inspired me...nice to see yet again the 900cc Cinq has been forgotten about...:D

Dont suppose you could advise the way you fit aftermarket dials or remove the dial backgrounds..im going to take mine off if i can..scan them in and play about!

Ill think of something witty....just wait and see............wait I might not.
 
Right, managed to strip my dash down and look at the dial faces. Theyre printed on 2-3mm thick perspex...getting some of that and cutting it to size is no problem - but does anyone know if I could get a printshop to print onto this?? Or couldI get an image on it somehow? (Print onto a OHP transparency and stick that on?)..

Cheers

leave the perspex in. the dial face should come off. its an acetate (the black dial bit) Print the acetate and sick it where the old dial face went

Well, I might take the perspex out too- Its a green translucent piece..Replace it with a clear one!

the clock is easy to change. just take out the green filter and replace it with a red one (some red tinting film worked for me) you need to strip the clock right down to get to the filter though
