Using original Sierra dials
I've decided to stick with the original dials off the car, predominantly due to cost
 However I did get a minor upgrade for the dials in applying the white dial background ... what do you think ... like or not?!?  http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/...o/IMG_3981.jpg Rapid

I think it looks awesome. Although I'm biased! I've also 'freshened' up the Sierra Dials by going to white, as my car is white and black. I think it contrasts with a black dashboard nicely. When I've finished trimming off my dash I'll post some pics.

thinking about replacing the std bulbs at the back with subtle blue LEDs, they are only a couple of quid. That should give me a decent looking set of dials for less that £15 investment.
 If anyone is interested here's the linky on ebay for the dials pack (you have to state what year, model etc at the checkout) ... just be sure to read the instruction well, especially about removing the pointers, neat little tip in the instructions pack http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-SIERRA-CO...item1c19ffab6f Rapid
