996 sports dials?

[RWD cossie wil]

Ok, might sound very petty, but if I were to buy a 996tt with the black faced dials, is it possible to swap them out for the white/silver faced ones fairly easily? I see a lot of cars that are pretty much ideal (Manual, black interior, good history), but have not got the sports dash kit?

I think they really set the interior off well, and make the dash look a lot more modern!

Totally agree.

It's one of these minor things in theory, but does make a big difference.

Here you g silver dials, mega money

Personally I wouldn't start mucking about with the dash - silver dials may improve a given car, but it's not a deal breaker for me.

It does! Porscheshop sell the kits too if you really must fit new dials or use Porscheshop!

Must what? Use Porscheshop, or fit new dials?

Why are dial kits for porsche so expensive/bordering on blatant rip off? The nova boys get theirs for £20 and I cant see why the difference, they're just bits of printed plastic!

saying that though, just spent £177 for a header tank and £38 on the cap that prob costs 2p in total to make

It's not just dial kits. Try looking at gear knobs and carbon trim too. In fact almost anything Porsche.

I bought a replacement cluster from Ebay and fitted it myself (and I'm a girlie). It was easy and the mileage was stored in the ECU so no problem there. I had the silver dials anyway but Mr Nobody cracked the glass on one of them when it was being valeted. I couldn't get replacement glass and Porsche wanted four figures for a new cluster and fitting.
