new dials, yeahhh, first for everyone to see

[brad1]

hi all
these should be with me wednesday and hopefully fitted for brands hatch day the 7th. the company who made them for me sent me a quick sneak pic and here you go,

these are not the crap ones which lets all red light through like the ones of ebay, these are same made by same company but these ones below are for the cupra

what you all think

I bought some lovely white dials for my focus, they looked awesom and lit up blue in the dark.

Was such a shame my needles din't work right ever again afterwards. My petrol needle would'nt go above half way and my speedo was 5mph out......

The instructions that came with my kit said use a knife to put a slit in each dial so it can be put on without taking the needles off.......imo that would look baba.

Just be careful when u do it

They look very sexy btw !!

 

[brad1]

yer i cant wait, these are straight fit so no cutting

 

[jay87]

OMG i want some of these, i was thinking about them the other day, but cupra dials are all 160 and i need 140 like urs, are the a direct copy of cupra ones??

how much did they set you back?

 

[seatcupra]

Are they the same as the cupra dials then... But stop at 140?

 

[jay87]

just looked at some cupra ones, i dont think there a direct copy? less marks round the mph and stuf but i could be wrong

 

[brad1]

cupra original ones are different they go up to 160 mph, these have been specially made for a replacement of my original dials so the mph is correct

 

[fozzybear]

could you let me know where you got dials,would need 160 dials as cupra ....would be grateful

 

[brad1]

if people get the point, let me explain, cupra tdi dials go up to 160 mph, the black dials which come in the tdi go up to 140 mph, if you stick the cupra dials in them they will be out by at least 5 mph so i have had these specially made so the mph wont be out, if anyone wants a set i will give you the email address who made them for me

You not bothered about the Kph thing?

 

[ChrisGTL]

You not bothered about the Kph thing?

his dials are converted to MPH.

 

[brad1]

nope, whats the point in kph lol, i prefer like this

 

[stuart86]

you could of got a group buy sorted on this and saved a bit of cash aswell

i know im intrested in some for mine

how much where they for just one set?

 

[brad1]

i payed £35 which i thought was ok, better than the s*it sets of ebay

 

[stuart86]

thats a very good price

here's the cupra dials for those that wanted to compare, they have a grey shaded area between the strokes and have kph as well.

 

[Willie]

They will look nice as long as they fit nice and the needles all read zero at zero
I notice the speedo one in the picture doesn't read zero, that would wind me up after a while
Hope it all goes well for you

 

[brad1]

what you mean it doesnt read zero?

 

[Willie]

on the second picture on your first thread the speedo needle is reading slightly below zero and I take it you weren't doing minus 3 KMPH at the time
All I was saying is that that would do my head in

 

[brad1]

should be all ok, they used my old dials as a template to line them up correctly as these are the first ever made for a 140 mph set

 

[Phil K]

Should look good mate! tbh I prefer the grey area that the LCR and Cupra have between the markings to these but they're nice all the same!

When you've fitted them it'd be worth using a sat-nav which can give you GPS verified speed readings to help you fine tune the needle position on the clocks...
