ive smashed the plastic cover on the clocks in my corsa. fit of rage and a hammer and what have you.

i need some 140mph clocks, what are the tigra ones like in a corsa?



i know the dash is the same etc, i just mean to read. are they good? or shall i replace with the normal gsi corsa ones?



orange needles would match the calibra oil and volt thing i have i suppose.

tigra one has bits that stick out towards the front whereas the corsa ones are flat. can see if you look in the pics at the fuel and temp gauge of either.

Oh yeah, so just the surround thats differant.

So it boils down to if you want flat, recessed and orange dials then!

Tigra ones would match the color of your car, and your oil gauge

i see your logic. although the oil and volt gauges are white faced. so maybe need some white dials aswell.



ya ken?

one day it will get replaced with a flip out screen head unit (a real one, not home made)

until then a permanant cardboard phil collins 8 track cassette on loop isnt too bad.

no, just the 1.6 sport..

the 1.4 has 130, in the same as the SRi's etc


neither of the above are cable driven, only the gsi has a 140mph thats cable driven

dont need to glue, the whole front(the clear bit & the black bit it connects to) comes off, and you can clip another one?

availale seperate from good old gm parts?

edit, ah yeah good point could just clip anything over the front that has a rev counter as trip reset is in different place.

hadnt thought of that at all actually.
