Right,

Final pic, and a few answers....

I used an Epson 750 Colour injet printer. It says 740DPI on the box. The quality is excellent, but of course it should be even better on a laser printer!

I did darken the grey a bit (don't know if you can tell on the pictures), and it looks real aluminimimlike!!!!

Anyway, After I'm through typing this, there will appear a new thread with the rest of the car on it, including what this look like in the car!!

As for now:-


Oh, I contacted both Ribs and Matt, they could be recieving CD's in the next week or so, so keep an eye out!!

Oh, and a little tip..... mark the pointers and where they came from... you can see by my battery guage that they look a little odd if things get mixed up!!!!

I'm very curious as to how these light up...The majority of the gauge masked to let light through is the black text. I may be missing something key here, but are you trying to backlight the black text and keep the white dark?

Looks good, I'm just curious about that...WHat was the final verdict on emailing the photoshop file? I'd love to take a gander.
