Title: 140mph clocks
Post by: dubsport on 06 February 2008, 18:17: on my 8v GTI the clocks go up to 140mph and the rev counter goes upto 7k I was thinking to get some white dials ... but they only sell 120mph and 7k designs ... why dont they do 140mph? :undecided: :huh:

I wanted those, the seller agreed to sell to us for Ã‚£50 buy it now, but then didn't bother to reply when we said yes we wanted them :angry:

Gutted that they're unavailable from VW, was going to ask there next.

Post by: rubjonny on 08 February 2008, 11:11: you find 140mph clocks in roccos quite often, gen mk2 ones aint so hard to find. but you can make mk2 140 clocks easily, just find rocco ones and pinch the speedo out of it!
