Osir carbon instrument cluster cover
« on: February 09, 2011, 02:36:19 pm »
Just fitted one of these, makes a nice finishing touch to match the rest of the carbon in the car. Whats the verdict, yay or nay?

A touch busy IMO but if you have carbon elsewhere then it makes sense  :happy2:

Yes, it's comes backed with 3m adhesive and just sit on top of the normal cluster. I paid £53 with delivery, but it is genuine carbon fibre.

.
My first concern would be whether the carbon's deep lacquer finish causes unwelcome reflections.

Went in a new Rocco recently and noticed that the silver trim (bling imo) around the dashboard side vents was reflected in the glass window of the door near the wing mirrors. Not clever, Herr Fritz!

My second concern is a reduction of visibility of the indicator icons.

It just sticks over the old one mate, no need to remove the old one.

....I remember the first time I went to GTI International - I took "International" to mean that there'd be all sorts of traders and VeeDub owners from all over Europe. Sadly it's a misnomer and not the case  :sad1:. It's unfortunately the same every year too - Just gets more and more expensive.
