Show pictures of your dials

Postby DK on Sat Sep 29, 2007 9:53 am

I', thinking of probably removing the green filter thats in the dials, and changing it to another colour.
Either that, or coloring the needles on the rev counter and speedo red.
Have you guys got any ideas??

I'm getting abit bored with the standard dials, and I'd like to do something abit different. But nothing to bright and racy.

hmm, not sure if I'd want white dials. I'd like to keep in dark.

NOthing stopping you keeping the dials black and removing the green filter and using LED's to light things up another colour

How bright would LED's be compared to how it is as standard with the filter in. I'm not sure what colour I'd go for though.
Would be nicer to have back lit dials. That light up the numbers/lettering etc.. like plasma dials
I kinda like orange lit dials that you get in mazda's/bmws

I'm pretty sure Mk6/7 Escort Dials and Mk4 Fiesta Dials are the same, so if you fitted some Mk4 Clocks you could always get these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/93-00-Ford-Escort-MK6-MK7-Plasma-White-Glow-Dials_W0QQitemZ140167989392QQihZ004QQcategoryZ72215QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
