I just got the email back. They say the dash have a white face, carbon fiber background and blue lighting. They cost $209 which I think is a bit steep.

i had the emtech white faced dials (dash) that lit up red at nite (these were the ones from matts car ollie), a few of the brissy boys seen them from memory.. looked good, i got a stack of pictures of them in the car in day light, but none from at nite... if u want me to post some i can and yeh the odometer is very easy to manipulate mark... when i changed the dials, i took it out and replaced it (the k's stopped tickin over).. looks like it'll make a really good article when done Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I think the best way to do it is to use the electro lumiscent material (EL), ive heard this is pricey, but then all you would have to do is attach the speedo and tacho images to it! DONE BTW ive taken the plastic bits of as well and i cant seem to put the speedo or tacho needle back on accurately (my speedo is 15km out at the mo) any other ideas on this ?? -Jase

heheh exactly the problem had when refitting, the needles sit on a spline if u look closley, u just have to adjust the position its sitting at... the tacho needle though was fairly easy to put back on from memory... it was the speedo one that was the trouble to get right... :P
