albundy68 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I might be able to source some 'propper metal' chrome surrounds for the facelift, but i need the sizes of the dials on the facelift to find out, - or even better if anyone has the plagi (look like metal) surrounds for the facelift that are available, the sizes of them. then ill see what i can get!

Faye Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Al, I lent my spare set to Paul E, he must have them knocking around somewhere Edit - I could do some measuring for you tonight, but the small dials apparently have a bit of curvature to them which you just won't get from the measurements.

It was indeed, he was going to make the metal set up using my spares but the curvature on such a small dial proved extremely difficult to manage. Probably why the Toyota ones are plastic.

You could have them if Paul can find them, but they aren't pretty, the paint/covering has peeled - hence me getting some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albundy68 Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 oh thats not bad, are they easy to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Absolute doddle. You need a hairdryer, something so you don't burn your hands with the hairdryer and a bit of patience. Make sure you really heat the sticky bit up before you apply them, then stick them on and hold down for 5 mins. Then they should be rock solid, mine haven't moved since I put them on nearly a year ago:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and i promise thats the last question faye!!! ) I don't mind, makes me feel useful! They don't look plastic, you would only know if a) they peeled b) you touched them. I'm more than happy with mine.
