Using original Sierra dials
 
I've decided to stick with the original dials off the car, predominantly due to cost :o

However I did get a minor upgrade for the dials in applying the white dial background ... what do you think ... like or not?!?:confused:

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.

I think for a budget set of dials they look really good.

Nice one and very visible,will keep iva chappy happy and right choice of colour to light it will be ace.

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
