Do you know what, I can't even remember what colour my needles are.

That exact thought has been going through my head just now, desperately trying to remember.


Edit: I think mine look like this, but in mph.

Edit again: They were red on the way to work.

£3 for 3! All I wanted was a red but these things come in packs of 3 so...£3 :p

Had a proper look whilst driving to work this morning, looks great with the dash lights off or on :\m/
 
Now you need to change the hideous orange bulbs :D

I thought you might have seen the pen strokes when they were lit up but it actually has turned out quite well
 
1 coat might have shown the strokes but I must have done each needle 4 or 5 times so no strokes to be seen and as mentioned earlier, you'd not be able to tell it was done DIY :D

What do you mean by orange bulbs btw?!
 
Heh I think the orange lights will stay as it's a major task doing those :p

That does look alright but not as moody as the original orange glow tbh.

Would also need to do the rest of the dash to suit...meh

Yes the red ink will add a few fractions of a gram in weight, therefore the car is now slower

Interesting point - Do you reckon, if there was some way of measuring the weight or acceleration that precisely, that the extra paint would make any measurable difference whatsoever?

Doing 0-60 runs would probably be too variable, but for example, I dunno, flooring it from exactly 30 to exactly 70mph in 3rd gear on exactly the same bit of road, or just measuring the weight alone?

:D
