Custom Dials!
« on: 21 April 2005, 16:59 »
hey guys

my flatmate (graphic design type) and me might be starting to make up custom dials for golfs and polos.
Designs can be anything you want, be it a picture, weird pattern or anything really!

just seeing who's interested. Prices should be fairly cheap, probably about £15 a set. a lot cheaper than you'd get standard white ones from halfords!

120/140/160mph and 7/8k rpm cattered for. So far we'll be able to offer mk2 golf/jetta and probably mk3 golf and mk4 polo depending on if I can find the spare clocks to get the size and numbers from.

who's interested?

Fitting face is such a barsteward of a job tho. I would be tempted to get some but I wrecked my clocks when I tried to fit some whte dials. Both my Speedo and rev counter stopped working cause I couldn't get the damn needles off. I had to buy a new clock set!!!!!!

^^ shouldn't be that hard? most modern dial kits are designed so you don't have to take the needles off, just slide the dials over them then stick into place.

we'll be making ours so they're as easy as possible to fit.

do them with 200mph and 10k rpm on the clock if you want so you think you're going really fast lol :grin:
