IF the list gets filled it will go ahead. At this rate, the thread will be 10 pages long with no one on the list.

Doesn't matter what clocks you have. As long as they are mk3. List the spec according to the list, look at the website a and choose a design and colour. The 3 most common designs will be chosen. I would also need a picture at least 900x600 pixels of your clocks in daylight so they can get an accurate copy of the scales.

Cheers for clarifying that that Bellend/tshirt2k. I'm more than capable of doing that, I just needed to know that it really was that simple :afro:

I'd love a set of these but don't have the funds right now. I'll keep an eye on this thread and depending on the time i'll hopefully be able to stick my name down towards the end  :smiley:

Also apologies for all the thread cluttering :embarassed:

Isn't the idea of a group buy is that it gets cheaper the higher number of people want it?

Why don't you DIY.  Granted it's a tad more expensive, but they come in MPH.

Then either:

1. use LED to backlight, or.
2. use EL foil to backlight - proper job.

I disagree, most modern cars have needles that light up
