There are basically 2 sets that come with the 206, one with oil gauge and one without.....

I think all CC's and GTi's have the oil gauge....

just check...

What are you going to do about getting the needles off? Lockwood will probably make the dials with a thin slit around the water temp and oil temp gauges, but for the rest of them you'll have to take the needles off. Might need to get some spares in case you break them

apparently you don't need to remove the needles .....

Umm what about the Auto CC

Mine don't have the Fuel Gauge Replace with the Auto Indicator
Do they have them too?

now things are getting complicated...

i have seen nothing that specifically relates to the auto

the template is essentially 'what you see..is what you get'

sorry!

Looked at that webpage, but I don't see how that can be true.

No cuts or slits, but you don't need to remove the needles to do it.

You've got to carefully thread the needles through the central holes. An absolute b!tch to do when the dials keep trying to stick themselves down permanently!!!

I have no idea.....

all advertisments say 'revolutionary design, no cuts, slits etc'

I will mail them to find out but they are the no.1 dial maker so I trust them...

Its possible they could do one for you but as a 1 off it would cost a lot!!

Cheer Up, we might find one!!

And I thought they were supposed to be 'easy fit' :rolleyes:
But surely the central holes have to be smaller than the 'boss' that the needle's attached to, or it'll look stupid. And the pug dials have more than one dial in the same bit of material, so unless you can get all the needles pointing the same way you're stuffed, aren't you?

Well, I've got hams for fists, but I had a right bloody nightmare getting mine on. The central holes are marginally bigger than the boss, but not much (don't want to let any light through.)

The backing is really really sticky, and so if it's not in the right place when it touches the back of dials pod, it's stuck there!!!
