Colour coded is cool, but might be hard to get a match for custom paintwork.

i recon a nice blue with white lettering would look top notch!

[The_Mistro]

Black background and blue lettering, very snazzy!

Hmm My daily driver is a golf gotta luv the vw blue dials
Thing is the way mini dials light is boring they dont backlight it shines across the face kida thing,i knida wish somebody would make proper backlit dials printed on some sort of polycarbinate.

You know printed black on the front and coloured at the back and lit from behind not from the sides



or these(actually in a skoda )



Now if somebody can figure out how to do something like that i think they will sell like notcakes

I personally like the last set up there with the numbers in red. I personally wouldn't want the KPH equivalent although I can see it being useful for trips to Europe.

Just an idea- Roman numerals, at the same intervals as the last one, i.e.

10 = X
30 = XXX
50 = L
70 = LXX
90 = XC

It would certainly be different.

[mini_mad69]

I like the last ones with red lettering, how much would they cost? and how are they illuminated? also would the last one be avaiable in blue?

[MiniMonty]

Do you mean blue numbers or a blue background ?

Roman numerals - nice...

thats a cool one!

[minimaff]

Those clocks look good mate, what will they be printed on????

I own a print brokers and think the following, if you want they to look like ones in a Golf Black n Blue,

They need to be printed on clear Plastic Black on the front wi clear number and then Blue or which colour

you fancy the numbers to be on the Back so then the numbers light up, think that would work....

Screen printing would be your best bet, cheap as well

If you could do a set that looks like those VW dials when lit up id buy them instantly. I'm guessing they would have to be el-sheet instead though due to the mini clocks being sidelit rather than backlit.

[insamoufonyx]

I like the top one, still after some UV ink ones if you could do it thou! also can you do 110mph clocks?
