simonbell Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Does anyone have photos of the various colour options? I'm going for black dials as white is a lttle too chav for my liking......however what about the backlight.....choice seems to be red / green OR blue I've seen the red, green is green but what is the blue like......or is that also a bit chav? Any photos appreciated. The car is graphite grey and is soon to recieve an orange stripe similar to the new R500.

simonbell Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Just found an image on the SPA site, the images scroll through the different colours........ I quite like the blue actually.

Simon Owen Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have the Blue which i'm happy with but be prepared for the gauge being difficult to read in certain light conditions. It is virtually impossible to mount the gauge as recommended in a seven, i.e. you are supposed to view from above !!! I was pi**** off to begin with & did try rotating the dial clockwise which works but looks a bit daft if that concerns you ? Sorry a bit tricky for me to do pics this week.

Ged Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I went for the blue, to match a Stack tacho I already had. I've rotated mine, which makes it easier to read at night. One other tip is to reduce the backlight settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbell Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Do they come with push button switches for changing the settings or are they optional?

robmar Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Simon - I have 2 of the black face blue backlight gauges, in as good as new condition, with loom and sensors & instructions oil temp and pressure - Dg 201 and water temp and volts - DG 204 looking for £225 for both if you are interested 🤔 moved to a stack dash so no longer needed Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You'll definitely need to rotate them unless you have a relatively high seating position (let's just say that lowered floor + Tillets isn't ideal!)

simonbell Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Rob too late, I ordered the oil temp / pressure gauge last night. I'm ultimately going for...... Oil Temp / Pressure Water Temp / Fuel Pressure Fuel Level / Volts. I would buy your water temp / volts one but they don't seem to do a Fuel level / pressure. Not particularly bothered about fuel pressure just want a set of 3 and thats about the only other parameter I would have a need to know.
