Hi Guys,
just been looking on ebay, if you wanted to change your clocks to give them a unique look then this is a good way:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Passat-sport-dials-petrol-/130863268442?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1e780f025a
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-4-MK4-97-05-Cluster-Gauge-Speedo-Bezel-CF-REAL-CARBON-FIBER-Dials-Clocks-/140947435410?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20d11f2f92
(Thats basically 20 quid!)
If you want to push the boat out:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-MK4-4-Passat-3B-B5-T4-Van-Chrome-Speedometer-Gauge-Dial-Rings-Bezel-Trim-/321032763715?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4abf0b3943
All together they would look mint on any standard set of mk4 dials...
just a heads up :whistle:
-
i'd want the anni needles though as well lol
-
Have you done this ash? And isit hard to do?? This really interests me :)
-
My clocks are basically the anni bits with my standard Gti guts....I made them fit :grin:
To be honest, the anniversary needles arent all that, look at the photo below, the centre of the needles are black whereas the Gti ones are red all the way through. I swapped them, then deceided I preferred the gti ones so I changed the temp and petrol needles back but kept the main needles as the anni ones.
Its a piece of piss to do you just need to make sure when you put them back to 0 that the needles are at 0, when you turn the keys on in the car, they will recalibrate and maybe slightly off....i had to take mine apart 3 times to make sure they were spot on.
Its such an easy mod to do. If anybody has or comes across TT/r32 needles then il gladly swap my anni ones as they are the same but the middle circle on the needles is silver instead of boring black.....

(With the anni rev/speedo needles and the gti fuel/temp needles)

loving these ash great work as always
-
Just for people who wanna give it a whirl and do something different. I am yet to see a mk4 with the carbon fibre backing. I cant do it on mine just clocked as the silver rings on my anni ones are one piece, dont want to risk trying to split and damaging them
-
I did something sililar to my ford focus i got lockwood dails and changed the entire backing lighting too took me ages althou i didnt take te needles off as they were prone to breaking and found it extremely hard to get the new dails on. How hard isit to remove the needles?
-
I was going to change my SMD's to white or red but tbh I just love the VW standard blue clocks....looks crisp at night!
If the needles never been removed just get a flathead screwdriver and something on the end not to scratch the clocks....I used tape but a thin microfibre would be better. Just apply even upward pressure and they pop off. You do need to give it a bit of welly but not too much....hard to explain.
The Anni needles on the back are MUCH shorter then the Gti so I had to fit down the lip on the guts to make the smooth. Sounds complicated but it is actually SO easy. Might start making some up if people are interested (not on your own clocks, on some clocks then sell)
-
Good link depends on epc light postion etc as that thecissue just swapping clocks aint it
-
Kook Ash, can I ask u know where to get dials that look like the anni ones? As the passat ones don't have the silver strip :) also how exactly do you're move the clocks from the car?
-
I think ash has the bora sport foils (same as me). They're pretty sweet :cool:
-
I will add creation motorsprt have exclusive bora replica foils too. More expensive than 5 quid mind
-
They about £30 quid and a couple of quid postage I think. Don't be put off this is easy to do !
-
Im not i bought em :cool: BUT as my clocks seem odd i font think any foil replacement will work right as even alk the richbrook dial foils wont work on mine :cry:
-

No I have the proper bora sport clocks; foils, needles and thick silver rings built into the casing
I just swapped them over as the SMD's didn't work on the original sports motherboard.
The passat ones are the most similar to r32 foils. Just needles you need. Like I said if anybody gets any r32 or TT needles il swap my anni ones

I got this for my AGU really good quality not just some paper or card insert. Put on some chrome rings as well really sets it off looks well smart :cool: I prefer the GTI needles to be honest they seem to glow a lot more then the anni ones.

-
god dammit for god sake not a single dial kit is the same as mine none of the bora, creation motorsport or lockwood. my issue is both the EPC light on mine is near the 6k not k and i only have 3 centre lights above the display too. if mine not same as early gti and not same as late type what have i got............??????????/
-
Mine

-
Yeah that is a pain in the ass you would just need to get another set of dials and recode
-
Davemk4 you have the same as I do, a half screen dash with 6 light in the centre. I have ordered the AGU ones with 6 lights in the centre and no screen, I'm going to cut it to show the screen. Will let you know how it goes.
-
Fir god sake lol it never simple. Got some bora foils herecif someone wants them then lol

Yer but wheres your epc light and washer bottle light as they different to agu and aum dash?
-
The washer bottle is in the right place and the epc light is where the check and engine symbol is which mean the same thing !
-
hmmmmmmmmmm so it just means a different symbol would light up compared to my current symbol style other than that the dial foils should fit!! PLEASE let me know how you get on. i sooooooooooooo want bora foils lol
-
but it still wouldnt work if you look closler at my speedo section my battery symbol and (p) in wont line up and it doesnt have a boot open light in the center 6 on the agu foils. mine does. i hate these dials!!
-
the EPC on mine at 6k
(http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/primeradave/20130406_214704_zpsfffb111f.jpg)
this the bora foils from ebay
then look the main dials below. the annoying thing is ive got a combo of dials :angry: the bora speedo it self is fine the symbols line up but then the center section on mine is only 6 in total not the the 8 on all the dial covers. my car doesnt have door open light ( gayest thing ever not to have!)
(http://i867.photobucket.com/albums/ab239/primeradave/20130406_214821_zpsd86a0b0e.jpg)
EDIT-----
looks as if mine are immo2 so looking on the creation web listings if i bought the diesel immo2 foils and the aug foils id use the diesel speedo and vis area as that is exaclty what i have now and then use the Aug foil for rev counter that way it all be the same

Did you do this? How did you get the bit off to wrap it?
-
Did you do this? How did you get the bit off to wrap it?
No i found it on the net im guessing the plastic glass was removed in order to do this cant see it being that hard

Yeah agreed but on the anni clocks the silver rings are part of that plastic bit and I dont want to damage the clear plastic bit
