Has anyone changed the colour of their instrument cluster dials? I have the stock black colour dials fitted but saw some white/silver dials that looked great, not sure how difficult they would be to fit? I expect the dial faces would cost a fortune from an OPC, any tips on where I may get some at a more reasonable cost and how easy (or not) they are to fit?
Regards,
there was a firm called lockwood international near to my home at morley, leeds. They produce dials for various motors if they are still operational. Try to find them on the web and they will probably advise you. Cheers, Chris
Design911 sell them - about £300/set. You would have to take off the instrument cluster and strip it down to fit them - not for the faint hearted, but not impossible. There is also a company who advertise in PP (I think) called Reap Automotive, who rework dials, and get good reports.
Edit: Just seen them at Porscheshop for £195:

I saw some White Dials on a car the other day and thought .. "now that looks good"
I am off to Porscheshop in the near futeure so I'll report back although I have already heard very good reports about them, their work and therr general attitude!!
I am very tempted by a graphite look to the center dash to so any advice much appreciated!!!
Thanks for all the "leads". I will do some investigation and let you know how I get on.
This is the great thing about the 996 forum, not matter what you ask, someone will have the answer!
