fitted my dial surround today, got another one with a "Z" logo in it......

 

I cut away the dash bezel behind the "Z" logo and put in a blue neon so it is backlit blue at night, looks great with the dials lit up blue......

 

I also put a blue LED in the slot in the surround above the fuel guage as a low fuel warning light as the indiglo dials don't have this.....

 

looks cool don't you think, i'm going to put another LED in the other side above the water temp guage as a rear fog lights on warning light because I don't have one at the moment and my alarm LED will be in there too.....

 

 

 

 

 

cheers

 

Andy...

Looks very nice mate, I take it you love your blue LEDs? LOL

Looks very nice mate, I take it you love your blue LEDs? LOL

 

yeah, I think theres a theme developing - need to put a stop to it i think....

I was not sure about them silver facias but having seen yours i like it

Nice one !

I'm glad you have the white dials and chrome rings, I wanted to know what they looked like with the surround.

 

Looks damn good.

 

Problem is, now you have your fascia like that I can't do it.....

 

Bugga

I like the gaffer tape around the steering column. Great stuff that

Looks good.

 

You're missing a needle stop though.

I thought you meant Paul Weller has been helping with your dash.

 

Looks good though!

looking nice mate very classy

Be careful how many LED's you fit, stay objective, else you risk the chance of looking too much like a boy racer! IMHO

 

However I do like the white dials with the steel bezel.

The dials are silver ;)

Lets see some night shots :hyper:

broke it fitting the dials, the needle goes to zero when the ignition is turned on........

no more blue LED's are being fitted, the fog light warning LED will be red and the alarm LED is red anyway........

 

The low fuel LED is blue yes but it will never be on only if i'm miles from any optimax garage, I keep the fuel level always around 1/3 of a tank, but its nice to know you have a low fuel level light just in case you don't look at your fuel guage for a while.....

 

cheers

 

Andy..

Lets see some night shots :hyper:

They look like Vijay's dials and they are silver.

Albeit a nice, subtle, silver. :cool:

Looks good Andy ;)

How did you light up the 'z' - leds?

Superb mate, just what I was going to do but you beat me to it.

sorry mr red,i know this has nothing todo with what you started this thread as but i just wanted to know how you are getting on with your turbo silicon hoses as i am wanting to fit some but people on here have told me not to bother as they tend to collapse on themselves when running high boost! but i must admit they look the part tho

never had any problems with them, running 14psi boost with no probs at all..........

Looks good Andy ;)

How did you light up the 'z' - leds?

 

I put in a blue LED's inside the dash binnacle, first I cut a hole in the dash surround so the light would shine through.......

 

easy to do, looks good too.......

 

 

cheers
