just wondering how you do this niffty little mod!

is it as simple as changing the bulbs or a rate stress job?

and where best get bits from as i know some bulbs are cheap and nasty

[brainsnova]

edit: not 100% sure

[Southie]

I think there is a kit you get that changes the plastic parts within the dash.

Goes off to look for link...

[Spudly]

Iirc you have to fully strip down the clocks and you scrape off the yellow paint on the inside of the lcd displays then repaint them in the desired colours, ive seen a how to years ago on the novaland website and it looks rather tricky!

[Southie]

I'm sure it's just the backings that change. A bit like this one. Years ago someone on mig was making them, cannot remember who though :( Still looking though lol

The one from above was made by a Guy called Dom.

you take them apart and change the plastic lenses, not sure if you could just spray them yourself or somthing? Post your findings if you do it, interested to see

[AlexW]

Dom dosnt do them anymore.

[Southie]

Dom doesn't do them anymore.

No sh1t Sherlock. Thats why I put the link. :roll: They weren't the ones he wanted anyway. lol

[Pistol Pete]

Aye, Dom (from MIGweb) used to do these. They are coloured film kits. Maybe scour eBay?

Maybe try this...?


Oh and if you want to change the colour of the dash to a single colour have a look at the cadbury roses chocolate wrappers http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif They make great substitutes if you only need a single colour

would really apprechiate it if people could find us a link as its what i want to do too,

Cheere

[Pistol Pete]

As Dom said in the MIG thread...he hasnt come across anyone who is doing them. If you can obtain clear plastic film, maybe get a local printers to help you out? Group buy FTW??!!

i used to buy bulb covers out of here for my uniden 2830 to change the lcd display

[loggyboy]

Try PMin Broadghost on here, Im sure he knew a way of doing it.

[Plug]

Dom on migweb did make them but the printer that did them isnt as good as it used to be and he isnt getting a new one.

i was going to buy one off him with no gaurntee (sp?) so it might be worth dropping him a pm.

You have to take the clocks apart and there is a film you replace

[brainsnova]

standard digi looks best for me.

[Novaboi_1991]

would it be worth me buying a spare digi and making a HOW-TO on it?

[mayhem]

i remember a site about that, had dashes in all kind of colours.

could be that dom guy's site, i reconize that multicoloured dash.

[FB_evolutions]

i might just do that buy a spare set and have a go on it!

if anybodys got a set for sale let me know!

[FB_evolutions]

safe let nova! pm'd

[Novaboi_1991]

i dont like the digi dashs but i like these

lol, sure that makes sence? lol

[let_nova]

lol

[Dod]

I reckon some LEDs from Ebay would do the trick. I know its probably not cool but I've the Standard dash in my Vectra A done with Red LEDs and it looks spot on.
