Dial upgrade
-> 206 Talk

#1: Dial upgrade Author: BigGreenDave, Location: The Rift PostPosted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 6:19 pm
    ----
So i have modified the dashboard and where the dials where there are now 2 speakers... sooo i need some ideas of good upgraded dials i havent decided yet where im doing to place them but i need to get a size for the MPH and RPM dials so that i can fasion a seating position. Then i shall need an ENGINE temp dial, OIL Temp dial and a FUEL level dial. otherwise im going to be guessing alot of things haha ive already sorted out where im putting the hazard lights and signal lights, next big step is ripping my dash out and finding out what wire goes where and for what.

So basically does anyone know or have you owned some upgraded dials that you thought worked well with your 206. im working with a GTi engine if that matters at all in the slightest.

im thinking MPH and RPM will be on the dash molded into the clock and hazard holder.

and the others maybe on the pillars it depends how much space im left with cause atm the A-pillars have to tweeters which i pal on making go all the way down.

Can you not plug the computer into the diagnostic plug and then to a screen? Would that work?

i know its not from a pug but what about something along these lines it still have most off what your looking for but just not so many pods about the dash then??

also its got all the warning lights

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200...27aeb4c458
