Well the Custom Stainless Dials have Arrived ....

[poormansporsche]

alright peeps,

after a bit of a wait they have arrived, thanks to everyone who helped on the other thread

still a fair bit of work to do as the original mercedes illumination is so dull I am going to have to deconstruct the whole cluster and bung in loads of extra leds

anyway this is what they look like:

Will get some proper night time illuminated pic's done once finished

Not bad.

When you say custom, do you mean you got them made just for you, or are they available on the internet. Can I ask about the cost?

 

[whitenemesis]

Cool! But it looks like refections might be an annoyance? Possibly why MB used white dials?

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Made bespoke if I recall the thread fore-runner thread correctly. Debate regarding fonts, etc.

 

[FunkMasterJay]

wow. nice.

 

[poormansporsche]

Yep completely designed from scratch. Ended up costing me 150 quid for everything but that was only because I kept changing the design. This is the third set of dials I've had made up like this and never had a problem with reflections

 

[FunkMasterJay]

What car is it for, and where from?

 

[MercFanUk]

What a fantastic idea! I think I'd prefer brushed metal though - but thats just me

 

[gkerr4]

they look realy good - and actually, for bespoke dials i'm surprised they 'only' cost £150!

 

[poormansporsche]

I have got them a fair bit of work with posts like this on other forums with other cars I've had

The dials are for a prefacelift w202

I've now managed to fit in 2 led strips in the heater control panel so that now illuminates how I want it to but wasn't straight forward at all

The blue back lighting is nice
