These dials received a lot of interest recently...
This a set of blue dials with white markings I made recently which received a lot of positive feedback and interest on the facebook groups. I actually have received orders for another 3 of these to be done next month after the new year
I was asked to do a set of custom dials in blue with the Xpower logo on the speedometer, and to also provide a matching analogue clock face. This was actually the first time I made a set of dials in blue so was interesting to see how they'd look. These dials were installed with the LEDs converted to bright white which lights up the markings on the dials very clearly. I was originally asked to fit blue LEDs, however blue LEDs behind blue dials doesn't work very well as the colours clash, preventing you from being able to read the dials very well. So I advised to go for bright white. Also, the LEDs for the IPK screen and lower mileage/trip screen were also swapped for bright white. The IPK screen and lower mileage/trip screen both have a natural blue tint to them, so even though there are white LEDs installed behind them, the screens still light up blue however the digits and text light up in white which works really well, especially on this set as the two digital screens match the dials i.e blue backgrounds and white text/digits and markings. The clock was also done to match Here's some photos of the finished item |

Hi Rick
These look super cool mate and would suit my trophy blue press car mate, but I wouldn’t need the clock doing, as I’m only local (Kent) would you be able to do them same day sometime in the new year for me. If you drop me a PM I’m sure we can get this sorted bud Mick

I’m not normally a fan of changing the dials but I have to admit that these look good. By far the best I’ve seen, well done Rick
