That would be good, depending on price. The Jedem ones were really cheap, not seen what sort of quality they are but shouldn't be that bad.

Who haven't you had a reply from, Jedem? I might just end up ordering one of those cockpitdesign ones. Has anyone got any photos? Laserowl?

Really needs to be 300dpi though to get the quality.

hey guys check out these stainless steel gauges, they do cost but they do look ace. a friend of mine has a set and for the money you pay they look worth every penny.

check them out at www.metalmonkey.co.uk

they can do the gauges how ever you want. they start at about £65 but its up to you how much you want to spend.
