Ok, I little update from my install. As some of you know I had a little colour bleed through on the red sector (see my post a few pages back), Steve true to his word sent me a new set in the post a few days later. So I thought I'd power up the new and old EL sheets on the bench to see if I could see what the problem was. This was my problem, I little bit of bleed through of the green into the red sector. This is the old sheet on the bench, as you can see the sectors are slightly off centre and the green is very close to the centre hole, hence the bleed through. This is the new replacement Steve sent me... perfectly central. So I fitted the new sheet and was 99% happy with it, however as I have the extra gauges I just wanted the heater slightly brighter to match the gauges, also my stereo is quite bright even on it's lowest night time setting. To get the heater brighter I simply removed the white 'sticker' coating on the front... TBH it would have been fine before and is 100% better than the OE setup but I just thought I'd try and get it just right for my setup. And here is the result.. no bleed through. And a perfect match with the gauges. Absolutely chuffed to bits with the results, can't thank Steve enough, good bit of kit well researched and put together, also he sorted out a minor problem quickly with no hassle... two thumbs good from me. Rog.

For info, online tickets have now closed so you'll have to get them on the day.. I'm planning of coming up early Saturday morning and camping, where abouts do we camp? And can I have a post code for the huntsman, I take it we are still planning on a convoy. Rog.

Remember chaps, never never get under a car that is just supported by a jack... Always use axle stands. Rog.

Well I carried my camera round all day and only managed to take 5 photos, 3 of them feature my car...lol Here they are anyway. Rog.

5am start, 498 mile round trip and one very sunburnt head later...Awesome day, my first meet and I must say I was made very welcome, Blown away by the standard of the cars, two very worthy winners today. Many thanks to Eric for organising the whole thing, really good venue. Can't wait for Bristol, see you all there. Rog.

Awesome... You jammy gits.. Bad news about Neil's, what's the problem? Rog.

Yes mate, tom Tom all loaded up ready to go. Rog.

More than welcome to ride shotgun with me mate. I'm leaving mine at 5.20, could meet you Exeter. Rog.

It's a date, I'll be wearing a red rose and a panama hat....lol

Sounds like a plan mate, I've just PM'd you my number. Rog.

Yes, read the post above yours mate....lol Rog.

Sean, is it worth asking McD's to check their CCTV, they may have footage of the incident.

FFS.... nightmare mate....Just when you make good progress with it... Gutted for you mate.

I'm coming up from Plymouth on Sunday, leaving mine about 6am and coming up the A38 then M5. Anyone fancy joining me for a convoy, I can meet anywhere en route. Rog.

Due to family commitments I now just coming up for the day, planing on leaving Plymouth about 6am and then straight up the M5, anyone fancy meeting me for a convoy..? Also, does anyone want a VAGCOM scan, I can chuck the laptop in the boot if anyone does, I've got both types of cable. Rog.

Just ordered mine, I'm, hoping that by some sort of magic it will get here tomorrow so I can have it fitted for my trip to National day. Rog.

Looking awesome mate. Rog.

Steve, the new bit arrives today mate, however you have also sent me another inverter, PM me your address and I'll send it back. Rog.

Rob, the 'stone' will probably be ball pein hammer shaped...lol Rog.

Nice find, I just bought a set... My 140000 mile windscreen is getting a stone through it soon...wink wink... Rog.

Where abouts in Devon are you mate, I'm in Plymouth, more than happy to offer a hand. Rog.

Thanks mate, I really appreciate that, please let me know of any additional costs. Rog.

Managed to a few pics, sorry they are not that good but its hard taking pics in the dark...lol They are not actually this bright but you get an idea how good they are. This is a better idea of the brightness TBH it's 100% better than before, the colour match and brightness levels are spot on, my only slight criticism is a small amount of green bleed through on the edge of the red. Rog.
