Dial Material
All of our dials are manufactured out of solid 304 Brushed Stainless Steel. At the moment we offer four finishes to the dials - Click the photo to see a close-up of the finish |
|
 |
Natural Finish
 |
Natural - Silver Stainless
A lightly brushed metal - very bare, very sexy.
Co-ordinates well with many of the chrome & metal interior accessories available.
|
|
|
White Finish
 |
White - "Linen"
This is not a lifeless dull white - it has a textured satin feel and appearance.
A look which matches many sports interiors.
|
|
|
Black Finish
 |
Black - "Resin"
A textured surface - it has a subtle metallic / satin sheen.
Great choice if you want to keep the stock look and just change the illumination colour.
|
|
|
Vivid Blue Finish
 |
Blue - "Metallised"
A slightly textured surface but with 3 layers of finish to give it a blue metal lustre with depth.
|
|
|
Sherbet Pink Finish
 |
Pink- "Soft Satin"
A pink satin textured surface lightly misted with white to give it a bit of fizz.

Dial Design
We follow the original dial design very carefully using a neutral font. All the calibrated readings are identical, all warning lights are where they should be and light up the correct colour.
We are always happy to make a set of dials to your own design. Prices start at an additional £15.00 for a simple logo added, up to £125.00 for a set of dials with your own choice of font, style or design. MORE INFO

Dial Illumination
Original dials have a series of numbers and notches printed onto their surface. In place of these, we cut straight through the stainless face. Behind this is placed a specially made backing. Backings are made individually for each order allowing you to pick and choose your own colour scheme.
Other factors to be taken into account are -
1. whether the dials are front or back lit (type of backing used)
2. colour of LEDs used in pod housing or perspex plate over bulbs (limiting colour choice) etc.
If your dials are affected by factors which influence the choice of colour then these they will be highlighted next to the photo on the website with a "more info" box.

Illumination Colours
A separate page is used to illustrate the backing colours available. HERE
Reflective Backings used for front lit dials and Translucent Backings used for back lit dials.
A better colour for the back-lit dials can be achieved using the newer White LEDs for illumination. The original bulbs have a yellow incandescence which can draw out some of the intensity out of the blue.
For back lit illumination we are now able to offer a new colour variation of "Double Silver". This is a special material which is chrome/silver during the day but turns transparent when lit from behind allowing a new colour to shine through. So Silver Day - Red Night.
Working on this idea you can also have White Day - Blue (or any colour) Night (works well with the Black Finish Dials)
We've not yet added this option to the website yet so you will need to phone through or email the order for Double Silver / White Day (not forgetting to choose the "hidden til lit" colours). There will be no additional charge for this.
