Hi all,

Is this possible? Or does it require entire replacement dials?

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if this helps. Had a fuel gauge refurbished by speedy cables. Good job. Be prepared to wait awhile

Its possible with many BMW cars, no idea for TVR, but I guess it would not be to hard...question is, who can make those, maybe those, who also sell and make those for bmw etc .

for example, these seem also to work on TVR Vixen dial/tacho

I guess maybe when you know what dials TVR used, I mean sometimes they used them from other car, if you know what cars, you probably can find some.

maybe from Triumph for example?

Thanks for your response, I didn't quite explain myself properly. Effectively I'd be looking at the same dial style but changing the magnolia for black as per some of the factory cars.

Remove faces, scan them, change the colours, print the result.

I'm about to do mine.
