Title: how hard is it to fit lockwood dial covers? and brake question
Post by: davemk4 on 16 December 2012, 14:57
i really like these as look like ani clocks

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400323356569?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

now i know the clocks easy to get out BUT 2 things will disconnecting them cause any coding issues with immob? and how hard is it to take the needles off i dont wanna mash all my dash up fitting them? any one got pictures of how these or the white ones look lit up etc?



also ordering new brakes all round now i can get a good deal for all genuine front disk and pads and rear disks and pads for about £120.00 inc vat but i want a better looking set so was looking at these and wondered what you guys thought?

you have to be very careful with discs off ebay, i bought some years ago and they warped in months, ended up going back to solid discs with EBC red stuff pads

Make sure all the icons line up with yourself on the foils, there are quite a few variants. It's not too hard, just a bid fiddly with the needles

Right lockwood website list 2 types..... one for mk4  with monometer display ..... one for mk 4 inc GTI with v.d.o display.

Confused both look like my dials apart ftom the none gti has hashed lines for red limit like my clocks. Gti ones list as solid red line.

Tgey say part number on dials either hh or kkk im confused
