Well, this is still in non-functional stage project, but here are few photos with the "bottom zero" style dials, thou that will need modifying a bit the RPM gauge to relocate the light/turn indicators. A big part of the details can´t be appreciated on this photos, but what I need is time (as always)to refine and finish all that...

I love '6 oclock' dials, they look fantastic. Good work.

Well, I´m still to decide to keep the bulbs or switch to leds, tempted also to keep the orange color backlight...but this will work better with white...(and red needles, but that´s easy)...all in all, the tricky part will be the achieving of even lighting, and when to the leds I´m not so sure if they are as widely ajustable as the bulbs...or even better shall be to try the full-color-range leds...

...well, as 2/3 of the time needed is to spent in the design...and it´s already done, easy customizable also. So, now I´m mostly struggling with close-minded people, which services I need to use, because not planning to buy equipment just to make these...But we will prevail laugh

Hi,
the progress is going on in tiny steps, as I don´t have almost any free time for this now. There are more parts in the store waiting to be fitted than ever, my GF now thinks I´m buying another coupe in parts:) So, it´s more likely to release the files for DYI-ing soon...

Exactly...yesterday was involved in battle, where the other part was almost crying: why don´t you just buy new car, there are excellent corsas and meganes at a gift price...Haaaa, Haaaa! Anyway, will try to put this on the desk this week.
