Default White dial removal

Howdy,

should be picking up my v3sti ra very soon

The previous owner has fitted a white dial kit which im not too keen on.

What would be the best way to remove it?

Cheers

Nathan

VERY CAREFULLY

Seriously, if it's working OK, I'd leave well alone, this forum has had no end of threads from folk asking how to repair bent/broken needles, or reset nedles pointing every which way.

Not saying it CAN'T be done, you understand, but just be VERY careful. Try not to strin, bend or otherwise bother any of the needles.

If you need to remove a needle, make sure it's at rest, against the stop, and pull it up using the force of two fingertips with the nails braced against the clock face. DO NOT disturb the centre once it's off and replace asap in the same position.

Best of luck

What about the mileage though?

what if the new sti clocks have 120,000km on for example (my car only has 99,000km on at the mo?

I know im being picky but I just can't get used to the white dials

Has anyone on here successfully removed/fitted dials without anything going wrong?

If so, would they like to have a bash at mine
