LOL- we're all actually drooling over something with "Veilside" on it. Stunning wheels.

Cluster=dash. Did you ever get yours sorted, as in the thread I asked you about? Heckler, thanks for replying to my PM, I shall endeavour to get at the "filters" soon as and attempt removal. I assune once they're gone it leaves the PRN etc in a clear colour. Glass paint can then be used...............Hmm:eyebrows: (Glass paint is what they use in lead-lighting-available at any DIY store in loads of colours)

Slightly off-topic guys, but does anyone know if you can "facelift-stylee" pre-fl rears like you can with the fronts? Sorry for hijack Mr Tero...................

See post 16-lacquer, satin or matt, NOT gloss...............

Try Isopropyl alcohol mate. Any Chemist stocks it. It takes the rubber crap off the dash EASILY. Should take your "smokey bits" off no problem.

Freudian slip, Christian?

How much more power can you get from a remapped TdCi? Probably the stock clutch "can" handle a 10/20% hike in power, but this would probably accelerate its need to be changed. The mechanic I spoke to said that most of the clutches he had changed needed a new flywheel, as he did explain the £600 to me because I found it outrageous. (A Corsa thrust bearing is £80 as its hydraulic...wtf)

By strange coincidence I was chatting to a mechanic today about the diesel Avensis vs Mondeo vs Vectra. This guy told me that a stock clutch in the Mondeo costs £600 to buy(trade) and to go with the Avensis every time. His has got 244,000 miles on it without any engine out work. I would imagine an uprated Mondeo clutch, if one is available, is going to be stupid money.

I know its done, but Isopropyl alcohol from your local Chemist makes it easy. One can is nowhere near enough. I have just done a spare dash I have acquired, and needed 2 black finish cans. You need to apply several layers to get it "properly" black, then lacquer it, again a few coats, to protect it. I still need to do the right side key panel and the one on the door card, so that makes 3 I will have used.

Thanks for the input guys, however reading back my original post, it is a tad confusing Its the illumination around the shifter which is bugging me, which has one single bulb performing the light show. I want rid of the green and orange........yeuch with a blue dash. I can live with the green in the cluster, but now you mention it................... The cluster "D" is green on mine, and the gear surround will just be the bulb, 5 minute job (allegedly) It seems that merely changing to a blue LED here does not give the desired effect, as jackso has said. So, can the yeuchy colours around the shifter be changed to whatever, and how Where's Heckler.............

And therin is an easy solution to my problem However, I'm a fussy git

TBH Christian, you actually posted in a thread that came up in a search I thought it strange that all that is lit by just one bulb, but it is I did comment on your "look at my interior" thread the other week, and pointed out that yours, like mine, would benefit from the PRN lights matching the rest. It does seem odd that Hecklers guide doesn't mention this, yet it shows you how to change the light around the key

I've searched and not had a conclusive answer My blue dash conversion is somewhat let down by the rainbow of the auto lever illumination, so I want to rectify this. Searching has revealed that the PRND is lit up by just the one bulb, so obviously replacing this with a blue one is only job half-done, as the console PRND is obviouysly coloured. Has anyone sorted this, and how? What I actually want is PR in red,N in white and the rest blue, which carries on the theme of the rest of the dash. Hecklers guide does not mention this. This was inconclusive http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=200134&highlight=auto+lever

Awaits the plethora of hubcap-stealing jokes.....................

Oh, this old quandry of the "rubberised" dash! Easy- go the Chemist and buy a bottle of isopropyl alcohol. The job is a doddle with this. Forget Dremels etc.

Thats a very nice rare Supra. Where abouts do you live? Supras are uber-rare in Liverpool.

Absolutely correct, its a DIY users gadget only, you will never find a professional using this. Also, the Dulux paint you buy at BnQ, Homebase,etc,etc is NOT the same as you would get from a Dulux Decorater Centre. The Dec Centre stuff is a thicker mix to be watered/thinned down, thereby giving you more for your money. I would advise that you buy the "Glidden" brand at the Dec Centres, its a trade Dulux paint giving excellent coverage and opacity. Basically the stuff you buy at DIY outlets is a thinned down version of a trade paint.

How much posted?:d

Aha, need to speak to you, PM on its way:)

That is what loads of us on here end up doing............ You will find the headlight refurb and HID's to be the "best" mod though!
