What they could have done probably as cheaply is something similar to the jag
Normal looking instruments but they are actually a display

I wonder if anyone makes aftermarket or customised displays?

Forget about cost for a moment, if you guys could have any style or function you wanted (including any of the examples in that Jag vid or anything else you could dream up besides) would you go for it?

Call me old fashioned but I'd rather have real needles on real dials  :whistle:

It was time to move on from that. Blue lighting had been around since the B5 Passat in 1997.

I missed it too when I got my MK6. But I must say I was seriously impressed with the interior lighting of my new GTI when I sat into it yesterday. It'll look the nuts at night!

Im glad they got rid of the blue. It hurt my eyes as it was too harsh. I much prefer white or green.

Wow, a four page thread on the instrument display - had to register to show my love! You guys are almost as OCD as the guys in the North American GT 86/BRZ forum FT86.com - we can argue for 10 pages about whether the twins should have a shark fin antenna or not!

Great forum, lurking as I'm going to be choosing between a Mk 7 PP GTI, Fiesta ST, and a BRZ next year (when the first 2 finally get across the pond).
