[jam89]

They look really good mate. Nice work

 

[Chris197F1]

thanks lads, done quite a bit of spraying since owning my last car so quite pleased with the results however this yellow that im using is a biatch to work with, it runs very easily!

 

[jam89]

Well ya done well all the yellow touches will look great together

 

[Chris197F1]

yeah just need to try and find time to do the centre console gloss black, the steering wheel insert black and the LCD display either black or yellow (or both as described on the previous page)

 

[henderson]

looks spot on mate,bet people daren't sit still in your house to long,they'll end up yellow!

 

[Chris197F1]

the missus car.........

 

[N0ddie]

You got some skillz with a paint can anyway.

Looks good.

 

[Chris197F1]

Booked in at RS Tuning now for 15th June, dont think I will get anymore mods in before then so the custom map will be for the Maxogen and Ported & Polished TB.

Update

Fitted my yellow speedo rings today so heres the results. Just need to sort out my petrol needle now as I moved it during fitment and didnt notice lol

Before


Surround Removed


New ones on


Plastic cover re-fitted


Cabin shots




Let me know what you think. I also have my silver ones for sale now as I have no use for them

 

[Fernandez]

Now they do look the dogs danglies, great job and something different. :thumbup:

 

[Willis]

Not seen anyone do the clock surrounds before, good work Chris!

 

[Chris197F1]

Cheers lads, really pleased with the outcome and such an easy mod to do

 

[N0ddie]

They look superb Chris.

Is it difficult to remove the plastic cover?

I'm trying to talk myself out of buying your old ones lol.

 

[Chris197F1]

the clear plastic cover is the easiest part, the grey plastic surround just needs a blunt kitchen knife to ease it out, took around 5 minutes to do. Just make sure you dont move the needles with your hand lol, my petrol needle now lies right past the full tank mark haha, need to correct it tomorrow

 

[Rogue]

Thanks for doing this Chris.

I had the same idea, and after seeing it, i don't like it. Too much IMO

It does surprise me you haven't done your centre console tho mate.

 

[Chris197F1]

I plan too mate, just havent had time, going to do it gloss black

 

[Rogue]

Nice one!

 

[Foxspeed]

that looks bang tidy :thumbup1:

:bat:

They look good but i wonder if just the odd shaped one was painted body colour it would look better?
