HEY, Does anyone know where i can get white spedo dials for my P reg Brava1.4s, it is the one withought a rev counter, really finding it hard to find them, thanks in advance guys.!
I WAS THINKING MAYB I COULD TAKE THE ONE OF MY CAR, SCAN IT IN TO MY COMPUTER AND SEND A TEMPLATE BY E-MAIL, OR PRINT AND SEND THAT WAY I CAN DRIVE THE CAR STILL, OR AM I TALKING CRAP??? PLEASE CORRECT ME F THIS IS A STUPID IDEA?
Capps Off! I only had caps as was quoting from eBay add!
I think so they have a perfect copy they want the original! You could send them a question and see, i know if you could just scan it in it would be as easy to create your own anyway! As you'd scan it photoshop it and print it out on label type paper and cut it out then attach to the proper one!
No need to butcher any dials! I've got all the dials from MK1 & MK2 1.6's and HGTs scanned from when I made my own dials a while back. Is it a mk1 1.4? If it's the same then I can email you the scanned image. The dimensions havent been changed so the guy can tell the exact size from them
That first link for the £5 ones- they look pretty ropey, as he says they'd just be printed onto vinyl and you'd just lay them over your existing dials. There wouldn't be any cutouts for the light to come through. Surely that wouldn't really work with back-lit dials, even though he says it will. That's why he suggests lighting them with leds!
Do what I did, get someone to cut them out of vinyl, then painstakingly pick out all of the cutouts (takes ages though!) then stick the vinyl onto blue lighting gel (using the vinyl-printer's method with the huge sheet of masking tape stuff) and then wrap the front and back in frosted film.
