Re: custom dials

Are you doing all the instruments? Would like to see how they look and how you've done it.

I made them myself using printable plastic film and an expensive ink set. they look amazing in both day and night.

may mention it has taken me a few weeks to perfect the process to get a porfessional finish.

damn, wish I had your skills.

If you ever plan on selling on another set of dials, then let me know.

Once again, That looks really cool.

not a single bit, i custom made leds that fit in the little lighting pots, the leds are bright and blue and wont fade, plus they just pull out and plug more in.

the dials are white by day (i thought i best) and obviously blue due to led. you can have them any colour to be honest -

red, green, blue, ultraviolet, pink, white, orange (although the dials are that color) and yellow.

after that you could even have any colour, just tint the dials and have white lights.

Simple stuff and they look amazing while sat in the car, the blue (for me is spot on) plus the red spot for fuel low.

No more boring, 80's style dials, you should see the speedo im designing!

Re: custom dials

If you could make something that looked like the Brera or 159 instruments then I'm sure you'd have a lot of interested buyers
