Long and short i'm after plasma dials.
Don't want to bother buying one off egay.
Back in the day quite a few people used to make the dial covers themselfs.
Anyone still make them?
After this design

Just be careful if you make them yourself that the card you use isn`t too thick.I bought a cheap set off ebay & the needles stuck.

On mk2 the needle lights up, bullb behind the centre.

The logo was the reason I sold them on :homme:

Mk1 dial kit on ebay,http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/peugeot-106-Citroen-saxo-instrument-cluster-dials-white-neon-/190799760998?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c6c8d4e66 (not mine)

the mk1 dial kits look awful, you are better off with some LED replacement bulbs, makes things brighter and better. its a shame theres not really a nice standard dash for the mk1 that fits from another model (or is there?)

Do the black faced jaeger clocks from an early 106 gti fit? Seems to be a similar design on the needles etc
