"If you want to change your dials to white, just print them, on good quality paper (I laminated mine), cut them out, cut out holes for the needles and petrol"

had to do that myself, as had white dials, and when fitting the 24v lump, used the granadas rev counter, which was black and they didnt do a white face for it.

That bit really tickled me. It's all very blue peter isn't it.
I wonder when somebody on here will give us a 'make' we can all do of a sunday afternoon

Worst thing is they don't look that bad

I know a lad that made Focus RS style dials for his Escort using a printer and a computer. He made about 4 'skins' if you like, glued them together and them laminated them. Looked very professional, and was backlit too.

My brother did exactly the same on his girlfriends Escort GTi so the clock matched the rets of the dials. Printed the template onto photgraphic paper and it looks spot on. Might even say it looks better than the job Ford did with their white dials
