Dash Panel Graphic With Speed In Km/h

[fordfan]

Doeas anyone know whre I can source a Fabia dash panel graphic where the speed is shown in Km/h?

If not I may have to attemp to make one.

Do you mean the speedo back ground material?

[fordfan]

Yes, that's the one.

Hmm - Bit of a tall order that one mate.

I'm intrigued now though

I could probably get you a new complete dash insert but I dare say you are looking for a cheaper fix.

We have a customer who has recently emigrated and taken her Fabia with her. She is trying to do everything by the book and the authorities have basically said that her car is not legal as the speedometer reading is not in predominantly Km/h.

We had the oppsite on a Japanese import a couple of years ago and I managed to make a complete dash graphic for it.

Looks like I'll have to do the same. I have a dash here so I can remove the graphic, scan it into the computer at full size, manipulate the picture, print it onto paper, matte laminate it, cut it out and test. It won't look brilliant, but it should do.

Would that cause issues with the dash illumination? ie make it hard to see what's there in the dark?
