A few members have made them themselves and I am sure there is a link somewhere on "how to"

Personally I would buy them pre-made as I couldn't be stuffed making them.

Some one has a picture of his car as the back ground......

You can also get them already made and fitted to the cluster from that eBay seller..........

Yeah, I saw that. Looks a bit dodgey, I'd have to see them in a car first.

Yeah be careful. If the increments are off, 2 k over and youll be seeing flashing blue lights or getting pics of your car in the mail.

There is a user on these forums goes by the nick "Wannabeaelowner"
He actualy owns 1/8th of an el now lol
His 2nd car is a XD 351 runs 12's on streight gas, and his 3rd is a XY Ute (soon to be XY GT Mockup ute) anyway.

He has pained up his own white dials for his XD and it looks great! Didnt turn out perfect (a lil run here n there, but all in all u wouldnt notice untill he pointed em out)...
Certainly worth the time and effort to do. I wouldnt pay that much though lol
