Are your needles lit???
« on: January 04, 2011, 03:55:56 pm »
Hi guys,

I just need a GTI owner to tell me if your speedo/rev/fuel and temp needles are lit without the lights on?

Thanks in advance  :happy2:

Thanks Rich, Yes I only have a derv! I was going to use a R32 cluster when I did my highline swap but I could'nt live with the rev counter not working like it should!!

I have even tried to commision a custom rev counter foil showing revs to 6000 and red line at 4500 in the GTI/R32 style but had no luck...yet!

So for now I'll hopefully settle with lit needles on the standard cluster  :happy2:

That would be difficult, would seem like the car keeps running out of puff mid rev range  :laugh:  Have you tried doctoring the numbers on the outside of the rev foil?

You've got it! I know Darren (Morty) has done it but it would drive me mad!!!

No all the numbers ect are left clear when the foil is printed/painted black and then filled in white afterwards so very hard to chop and change them around without it looking D.I.Y!!

I was hoping they would bring out a sporty diesel at some point with the same kind of foil!!.......I'm still waiting  :grin:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
