It will just be connected to the inverter by plugs. No soldering unless you want to change the colour of the LCD displays. Easy for me, may not be for others.

If you read the post it says they will make them in mph. That's the point of the GB. You can't get these anywhere otherwise. The clocks need to come apart. Needles off. New dials fitted and wired in.

It all depends on what you consider worth paying for they're exclusive. As no One else will have them in there car. Plus if you've spent ££££ on engine conversions, wheels etc. It's not that expensive considering only 15 people will initially have them in the country.   :wink:

Quite a statement to make....what makes you think no one outside of this forum has bought this. I would say there are plenty of people in the UK running these.

Because if people were running these. Why would they need 15 people to make them in MPH. They may have a type of backlit dial, maybe s3 or DDI but they are either not available anymore, alot more expensive or only available for certain clocks.

These ones from this company haven't been made in MPH. They need pictures of the clocks to be able to make them. IF they had already done them they would be available on the website.

People would need to decide if they also wanted a heater panel and flourecent paint etc..

I have started a list here. And MAY do this if it can go smoothly. (A few people can vouch that the last group buy on other "common" forums went smoothly enough).

Probably have to sort designs into 3 most common. And people will need to supply a daylight picture of each clock to send.

I've worked it out and including P&P the cost should come to around £65heater panel £10 and Flourescent paint (to paint needles )£8 extra.

Add names to list including Car, Design, Backlight colour, Rev limit/range, Speed range - Heater panel (Y/N), Flourescent paint(Y/N.Colour).

PS. they look 15 times better in the flesh

No need to go in for the group buy only for the heater panel. You can buy direct from the website. Should work out ~£25 posted. I bought one ages ago from there.
