dial kits

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

Ok, i managed to zip the file down to 1.4Mb to make it a quicker download. the dials are for a 480S so there is a fuel/temp gauge instead of an infocentre but if someone sends me an old infocentre or a scan of one (at a decent resolution) i can add that to the file. <br><br>For turbo owners there is a turbo gauge but i did it roughly and its a slightly different colour to the rest (cos i didnt think i would use it) i am presuming that most people will want to pick there own colour anyway and change it.<br><br> For ES & S owners i have made a wee "Volvo 480" dial face to replace the plastic blank where the turbo gauge should sit,if you remove a wee sticker that is on the back of the PCB you will find space for an extra illumination bulb that will backlight this extra dial too!!<br><br>One thing for our continental cousins to be wary of is that the speedo is in MPH,i could probably do one in Km/H but it would take a while as im mega busy at the moment. They are worth changing though cos they look dead kool!!!<br>Just gonna send them to drago now! <p></p><i></i>
