about the only two things that I think could be improved easily on the Active info display is red needles (I miss them from the previous cars), and better legibility of the temperature and fuel gauges which can be quite hard to see (which weirdly would be improved by red needles).
So, as it seems no one has unlocked or found anyway to display the needles in Red (or Blue for the "R"), I'm given a different skin a bit of a chance. I was originally at Tube Variant 3 (standard for the GTI), and I've now changed it to Tube Variant 2. This give slightly clearer fuel and temperature gauges, but also adds in the "classic" display of just the needles without any additional information for a de-cluttered view. Also, this view now shows the incremental speeds on the speedo in between say 20 and 40 mph (with 30 mph being shown for example)
So far, the only downsides seems to be a) no fancy animated graphics on startup (when the gauges draw themselves on screen from the blackness), and b) the Speedometer now tops out at 160 mph not 180 mph as before (pretty sure I'm not going to be pushing the limits of that). I'll give it a few days evaluation them report back. I might go back to stock, I might not - who knows
Anyway, here's how it currently looks with "classic" view shown.
