Had it confirmed that a sample is on the way so I will contact anyone interested to arrange it being sent to each of you so that you can check quality or shall we just send it a few of us and then we can all go on the opinion of a considered few?

Also have another supplier willing to do completely bespoke dials, including our own logos, fonts etc although his prices are a little more due to the bespoke nature of his dials....

will wait to see what the first sample is like .....

we still really need 20 though to get a decent discount.

How much are we talking about if there isn't enough people?

Not a massive difference.....the price only drops by Â£5 if we get 50 so I can't see it going up by more than a Â£5 if we have 10-15

Will try and find out though

A thought. Why not ask around on the PGAC forum as well? There may be non-cc people who want these dials...

Got my sample from lockwood, its for a MK1 Astra or something but it is a white dial with blue digits and I am happy!

Not that I have ever held one before but the quality seems excellent, everyone seems to say lockwood are the best, and the blue is surprisingly good. They did warn me about being able to get the brilliant blue the VW gets but I have held it up to a light and it seems to be pretty damn close!

Not the best scans but you can at least see the colours.

I am now redy to order so if anyone is definitely interested give me a shout....I could send the sample to others but if a load of you want it then we could be here for weeks waiting for everyone to have a look....

all i can say is it seems a good quality finish and lockwood are the best, according to most sites, so I have little doubt in the product.

Any takers

here is the template for the CC with the oil gauge

I presume we all have the oil gauge on our cars

Doh!

So what can we do about the needles?

andyc209 · Post by **andyc209** » Fri Feb 21, 2003 1:18 pm

Working on that one...lockwood said the easiest thing to do with white needles is colour them with a red perm marker pen!!! Said it works very well????

I think I am right in saying the 2.0 already has red needles with the white dials so I have checked with PUG to sse if they can supply official ones.

Still trying other places......

I'm presuming that they're the same dials as for the 206 GTi, and if so, you can put me on the list for a set.
