Astina BG - Reverse Glow Gauges ... GB?

dru · 22-08-2005, 11:08 AM

Well i have been doing some research lately and this is what i came up with...

Does that look familiar? Well its out of the Mazda MX-3 or Mazda Eunos. Only difference seems to be the clock as it lights up blue! [i think?]

It seems to be a direct copy. Now this open's many windows for us if it is, i am looking into getting some 'Reverse Glow Gauges' and maybe try and organise a group buy. Also alot of other interior dash bits look to be compatible!

This is what they look like.

We would be looking at roughly US$10 - US$20 and then postage

I will email the seller and see whether i can get a postage quote on 10 and 20 amounts.

That sounds like a good price

mazdamanik · 24-08-2005, 02:58 PM

dru · 24-08-2005, 04:07 PM

Yeah that's the only problem, going to look at a few other brands i found....also found chrome rings for around the dials

mazdamanik · 24-08-2005, 04:12 PM

DrSilver · 24-08-2005, 04:13 PM

How about the red zone on the tacho??
It has the km/h underneath.

mazdamanik · 24-08-2005, 04:14 PM

Nate · 24-08-2005, 07:05 PM

dru · 24-08-2005, 09:11 PM

Well i will see what i can find, i found a few american companies that do this actually. Might be able to get one's with only kph from Europe, i saw a set on popuplights.co.uk [??].
