Bought these recently, gonna try fitting them soon, just wondered if anyone had any comments on installation.

thanks..
removing and refitting the needles can be very tricky..i was lucky mine went over the needles
do you just stick them straight over the original black faces ?
They will slip over the needles - don\'t take the needles off, as it\'s very difficult to get them back in the correct place.
I\'ve fitted these to my FC - there is a right up on the forum - I will find the link

helo craig yes you can remove them but be careful and it all depends on how they are held in too?

Have you fitted them to an FD ?
Can I def take the needles off ?
We have seen many Fds with those kits on. And more often than not one of the dials does no longer work, generally the Rev counter. So we do not recommend them to any customer. And personally I think they look cheap and nasty, and more suitable for a nova:)
lol that why i want to remove mine
if you really want white dials anyone wanna do a swap with me lol

yes there fitted to my fd just be very carefull!
I have just finished, actually think they look quite nice, although I do agree with the nova comment lol
Thank heavens I didn\'t breal anything, did have a couple of worrying moments ..
Nice one fella.
i\'ve just fitted these to mine after spraying my surround :) there growing on me.
i just hope mi glue holds :rollin the only problem i have now is that i removed the needles so i\'m not 100 % if i\'ve put them in the right place.
Is there anyway of checking if they are right other than refitting them back into FD as i\'m doing a rebuild on mine so most bits are out of the car :(
Couple of pics of mine,not everyones taste :)

Well, having just driven the car the rev counter is about a grand too high!! Doh !
So have to take apart when I can be bothered and rectify. In answer to your question, only driving the car will show up if the needles are wrong.
thats what i thought but i was hoping ya could connect them up some how as mi car won\'t be finished till another 2 month so can\'t do anything else with them untill then.
Should have done it after the rebuild tbh as it won\'t help me when it comes to 1st time starting it and want to check it.
i won\'t know if the needles are out or if i\'ve done a dodgy rebuild :rollin
need an apexi PFC, that\'ll give you the digital readout..
yeh i have one,i\'ll just have to put the dash on one side untill i sort the rebuild saves trying to take the dash back out :)
What else does the the pfc readout digital show thats on the dash dials?
