where can i get white dials?

[danieltm]

Simple question which i thought would have a simple answer but after LOTS of searching im having no joy? So please can somone help me out and tell me where i can get some white speedo dials from?

Lockwood might make them, so anywhere that sells them.
Places like Demon Tweaks perhaps and all the other shops like them.
You can go custom, form somebody like www.skewer.co.uk (I've had custom from them before and they are fantastically well designed and made!)

So there you go, that should give you something to get started

 

[danieltm]

Thank you RobM!! You seem to have lots of answers to lots of questions on here

If you do replace them you might need to change the cluster. If you need to change the cluster then your clocks will be out

There are ways around this, not easy ways, but ways nonetheless. For instance, if you have VAG-COM you can get somebody to tell you what speed you're doing while you pop the needle back on, or you can do something similar via the hidden menus on the climate display. It's a bit Blue Peter and you need somewhere safe away from a busy road (luckily I live next to a forest!) but it's fairly straight forward

Same applies to the revs. Wait until the car is up to temperature so the idle is consistent, monitor it in VAG-COM and pop the needle back on. Temp is the same. Petrol is easy, fill it to the brim and pop the needle on.

However... if you're really clever, you'll be able to get the dials on without removing the needle. Some dial kits sit over the top of the stock dials so you can slide the needles through the holes in the new dials. Tricky, but not so hard it's not worth trying

Was thinking more the mileage will be out

Who? Skewer? He does anything you want him to do. Drop Mook an email as he is the main man and tell him what you want in terms of car, design, colour, material etc etc

or wait for a Cupra or an R to be Broken ?

 

[RobM]

Surely the speed and rev markings will be different?

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I have been looking at replacing the black dials in my Toledo V5 and thought i would use the search engine.

Did any of you guys ever get Mook at Skewer to make up a set? There are still none showing on his website.

Anyway I've dropped him an e-mail to see if he can make me a set, he would be interested to know what cars my set cover, so basically they look like this:-

Thise are the same as Cupra/Cupra R dials, by that i mean positioning of numbers and red line(ish).
You not use 24/7 Spares to locate an instrument cluster?

Never used 24/7, but most prices on e-bay for cupra clusters are about £100 which seem a lot just to get the dials out.

Thought the ones on http://skewer.co.uk/ looked pretty good though.
