Visual-performance dials

Post by Powerslide » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:11 pm

Has anyone fitted them to a late modle V6??
I have just recieved a set and a quick look makes me think I might have to send them back. Real shame as they look awsome......

Any alternatives available out there to get MPH on a V6??

Cheers

Hi,

I was intersted in those but they only do them for the diesel. They offered to make some for the V6 but we need to get 15 orders together to make it financially worthwhile for them to make them.

How many people on here have the V6 that would be interested?

hi all,
surely ther the same for diesal or petrol v6, hope they are was either gonna go down that route or the white dials, do fancy the white ones though been lookin at them for ages was on my xmas list but the alarm is taking priority before some unsavoury takes a liking to my van. :evil:
Mines a 97 p does that class as a later model, sorry if that is a dumbass question not quite sure how that works :?

Cheffy,
There are several differences, the main one I noticed straight away was the rev counter, makes sense when you think about it, V6 is bound to rev a bit more than a diesel lump…… 8)


I have just had a nice e-mail from Michael at Visual-Performance Auto Styling Accessories, saying he would be happy to give me a refund, :D and reiterating what apole had said about only needing 15 orders to produce some.

So, can we get 15 V6 owners who would like some ‘electro-luminescent gauge panels’ for their pride and joy………………

Or would our hosts be tempted to order 15, knowing that they would sell them all……..eventually??


Oh, and my in dash gear selector indicator is working just fine thanks :wink:

Hi,
I'd be up for a set. If they aren't too expensive maybe a few of us could split the cost for the 15 and sell the rest on ebay?

"dam it" makes me wonder why mine has no bulbs, no holders, why have they all been removed :?:
if youve ever got your clocks out can you take a photo of the back for me please.
Glad i didnt buy the new dials now coudnt stand the dissapointment, l just changed all the bulb colours at mo for stop gap, can't stand green. NOT 8), might be up for a set of visual ones tho :wink:
