Leave a bit of time, they are still in the car...

 

thats cool.. i have booked the day off work  

Looks great Gee, glad your happy with them

 

 

Thanks again Charlie..  both my skodis dashs looks amazing now.      top man

Productive day today..    a little Visit to Bossfox puts me in the mood to tinker.  I actualy went to my garage to wash the cars...  but this happened instead.  

 

Fitted a W8 light with ambient lighting.  already converted to blue to match the new switches.

 

 

After watching Darkhero take all my bits apart and actually taking my clocks apart today to fit the white needles i got all creative...  

 

Auto head lights, coming home lights when i lock and unlock the car when its dark. 

 

with the help of my 5 year old Daughter to cover up the sensor.. i made a little vid.

just need the switch set to side lights to activate the auto lights..

 

heres my dash clocks now with pov spec white needles fitted.. 

 

here is them lit up..  i cant get a decent pic as it always goes fuzzy.. but you get the idea.

 

Finally got a replacment AC pipe thanks to bossfox as my 1 had a hole in it..  

 

whilst i was there i picked up my pretties..

 

starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now..  cant wait to have all to get that lot bolted up to the car!

walk up to the car at dusk...  not quite full on dark yet but dark enough to need a little assistance.

well happy today.

Awesome updates, Gee. 

 

I've been meaning to get Charlie to do my dash, but can't decide on a colour as would get rid of all the green... 

 

 

An awesome daily

Charlies a good lad..  he done my Octavia vrs ages ago and they still going strong.

 

highly recommended. 

Looks brilliant. I did notice that your rev and speed needle looks like it's sitting below 0. Would watch out as the indicated speed may be wrong and you might get some hate mail from the po po.

And it looks like the idle is at 600rpm. Just my OCD!

I can confirm, it's very blue!

Tut tut Danny. I ensure the needles go back exactly where they were

I think he means after Gee put the different needles on as there's a slight difference from when there's the photo after you'd done them but not in the car and then the now pics but that's being very OCD

 the speedo is spot on as i checked on way back from Bossfox today with satnav.   im too a OCD nutcase..

 

the RPM is just under 200rpm out as vcds told me so..  ill be taking them apart when my other bit arrives for em so im not bothered atm.  fuel and temp are ok , 1 out of 4 my first time doing it aint bad lol

 

 

this is why i get charlie to do it coz hes always spot on.  im far to heavy handed and shaky for that fiddley shizzle

I wasent meaning you done it Charlie. I see the photos of you lining the needles up, it was just I see gee had changed them and thought I would say incase he got caught speeding and did not know he was actually speeding!

I'm too ham fisted for things like that. If I can't use a hammer I'm not doing it! I will probably ask Charlie to do the same for me soon. Green is boring now!

Haha no worries mate

I lined em up with post its and a pen... I just got fat fingers lol

Incoming!!!

 

 

hopefully get it all in before the rolling road day..  gauges will look nice up against me dash i think.

shameless plug for my cup holder

Nice!

Pointed straight at the driver unlike others I've seen in that spot.

slowly..  haha!  

 

 

dam you darkness when im home from work!

 

 

going to have to trim the cage behind the left trim under dash  as the gauge touches it and does not  point at me like the other two.    roll on Saturday when i can get these working. 

 

 can see the angle aint right in this pic.. 

 

 

thats it... to dark and its pi£$ing down

finally finished me clocks yesterday..  sorted my Rev counter back out as it was 200rpm out.   my speedo is spot on with my sat nav up too 110 so my actual speed is now shown not the guestimate most cars show..    so that will do me lol

 

 

badge arrived and trimmed..

 

 

going outside now to fit the gauges proper..  wish me luck

this happened this afternoon..  

 

 

 

 

 

 

love it!!    im done now! ...  i think...   maybe... 

 

 

 

this happened today...   wow!

I like this.

Love the diff but she's filthy!  What power are you running?

Seen pics of this on the FB page and liked the look of it. Car looks really well and has the power to match it.

Where abouts did you get the gauge mounts from? I was tempted to do a pillar pod but I will end up fitting 3 gauges so your location maybe better suited.
