hey guy's

been hankering after the red sti interior bits for while, but there silly money so decided to hve go myself, the pics dont do it justice, but i did take a big risk doing it, so dont blame me if you copy and it goes wrong...

first the centre dash bit, remove the surround and then take the dials out,



then split them and use red paint to cover the back of the dials, remove the green covers off the bulbs too



then build back up.



next the clocks, remove from the dash and split them, taking the needles off is nerve racking and i though i needed new clocks at one point, lol

once split you need to remove the backing of the dials, its basiclly green then covered with black, i did this with thinners, i tested a piece first, this is were it could of gone wrong,



then i covered with red paint, and again got rid of the green bulb covers,



build back up without the glass on the clocks then use a satnav to set the speed correct, you need to remeber where you fuel was too.

once happy build it back up to finish, i need to do the lower buttons for the fogs, but i can sort that at a later date.




like i say pics are pants but in the flesh its very pleasing, plus i can change the colour of my radio and boost gauge

Looks tidy, I feel a copy coming on

I've already put a coat of clear red on my needles and red a 'how to' on NASIOC showing how to sand the green off without removing the dials, white numbers and red needles will match my gauges better

i may take the clocks out again just to go over a few numbers, namely the 60mph and maybe over the fuel again
