very nice mate.
would look better without 'Lockwood' on there imo.

still nice though, the Mk2 172 misses out on white dials that a Mk1 like mine has, they look good.

 

[GarethM]

look very nice but as carbon says would look better without the lockwood logo on.

 

[biojo]

yer i aggree with him too but like all things nowa days companys like there name to be seen.

but i think the look of it is more suited to the car , other was just too bland for me

 

[Christopher]

would look great with a blue LED conversion kit on there.

like a VW group car.

 

[biojo]

yes i would like that too , had a look whilst i had it out , could prolly do it , but would cry if i messed it up.

its just makin sure u get the right cicuit board lcds volt wise, then not solderin owt that didnt need it

 

[Adam]

looking good....have to agree with above no logo and blue l.e.d conversion.

 

[Maxx]

Very nice

 

[biojo]

n e one know of a pro that would do the leds and how much cash where talkin

 

[The Big Yin]

Dink hs done it before so he can answer any questions you have , im sure the leds are less than a tenner , there is also a guy selling these on ebay kits and already completed ones

 

[iPap]

Ebay kit is £19.99.

Was it difficult to take front of the dash off??

Was it difficult to take front of the dash off??

well ive just took it all off and put it back again in under 20 mins


the lockwood instuctions were ment for the 172s , but here goes its fairly easy

behind the stearing wheel the top cover pushes up and unclips, then u see 2 screews take them out

on the air vents on top of dash theres 3 screws take them out,

either end of the dash theres 2 ****ty plastic kinda screws with plugs , pull them out

the siler strip next to yer wiper contol pulls off , and theres 1 screw take it out,

beneath the airbag theres silver strip pull it off and theres 3 screews take these out.

then the pillors either side of the window , grab the top pull outwards slightly , then u can see a clip push this in then rest pulls off. do same on other side

then grab the dash either end and pull firmly towards u , then slide it out.

then its just a matter of unclipping the 2 connections on the dial set.

undo screws on back of thereand u can get to the dials , straight forward from there on
