dtjames 0 Posted May 12, 2003 Hi all, As you will all know, I am new here. However, I am getting VR6 in 2 weeks and there are a few things that need doing: Smashed Front Foglamp Needs new Headlamp Wiper and I want to put white dials in it (speedo etc..) Any suggestions as to where I can get the parts? And if I keep the original dash dials, will I be able to put it back in if I decide to sel the car to abuyer that wants the "original" look? Which are the best tyres to put on (size etc..)? Thx in advance for your help :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Corradoboy18 0 Posted May 12, 2003 I suggest you stick with your original dials. I put the white ones on and, although they look cool for a while, they started to get annoying because they are so bright. I think the stock look is much better. About reversing it...The ones i have are the sticky kind. I can't take them off. But i'm not sure if they're all like that. Another thing is, if you're going to put the white dials on be very careful when pulling the needles off. I broke the speedo and the RPM needles. Thank the lord for superglue. My suggestion is stick with the Black dials. They're better all around. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dtjames 0 Posted May 12, 2003 sounds like good advice, but I will be getting the garage to fit the whole white panel - I thought I would avoid the stick ones. where is the best place to get parts at a reasonable price for my VR6? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted May 12, 2003 The Corrado has front lit dials - so what many Americans have done is create their own white dial kits. Just need a bit of measuring and a little design flare - put what u like on then! And stick them how u like too.

Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted May 13, 2003 Headlamp washers were - I have them on mine. But headlamp wipers certainly weren't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted May 13, 2003 perhaps he seen the washers and thought the wipers were missing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dtjames 0 Posted May 13, 2003 washers I meant ! Sorry - but where can I get them and the dials? (and the foglamp) - stock seems to be a problem. Please help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted May 13, 2003 you can get the foglamp from http://www.gpcvwaudi.com and I thinki it is about £55 + VAT and delivery Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemon 0 Posted May 18, 2003 You can get the white dial kits from Demon Tweeks in Wrexham, North Wales. They are made by Lockwood and slip over the originals with no need to remove the needles. A very easy DIY fitment. I think mine were about £25. I have a white C so the white dials look great!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hans G60.nl 0 Posted May 28, 2003 You can download white gauges from my homepage, the ones i place here are for vr6 i have allso put in blue neon for lighting.. that way it looks even cooler 8) another option is just change the light to blue which i have done for a friend of mine: [web]http://members.lycos.nl/nl2han/corradot ... 0liter.gif[/web] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans G60.nl 0 Posted May 28, 2003 Cool car dazzyvr6 !! i think you should only make your taillights red or black... gives the car a nicer ass ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted May 28, 2003 i quite like the clears...would make the car look newer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted May 28, 2003 I changed the bulbs in my G60 to blue but not the one behind the digital clock or mileage bit. How did you do that on your friends dash? Looks sweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hans G60.nl 0 Posted May 28, 2003 quite simple... you need a bright clear 5mm led blue, with a resistor that makes it fit for 12volt... mold (is that the right word??) it onto the print of the dash.. be sure + and - are in the right way... before you mold it on, you need to shorten the led, so the top isn't round and bright anymore, this way the light will spread more.. so you shorten the led (with sanding paper or a dremel or something like that) just before the metal part in the glass. the top of the led ( or what's left of it) should be as far as possible away from the display, so the light spreading will be optimal.

Hans G60.nl 0 Posted May 28, 2003 oh before i forget to say.. in the housing of the lcd display there is a green foil... that HAS to be removed to get an other color... i think you'll allready know.. but better said once too much then........ this is what the foil looks like Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
