Talking Silver Tickford Fascia Installed!!!

A major thanks to Woody and his dad for their help on it...for all you that don't know, 1 of the screws was cross threaded and the only way they got it out was to break some of the plastic thread and then take the cluster out and attempt to take the screw out that way..it eventually worked and i couldn't be happier with how it looks now!

It had been sitting in the glove box for months as i bought it a while ago from a guy off ebay for 120bucks i think i paid. The only reason why i only get it put on just today was cauz of that whole drama with the cross threaded screw.

Looks really good mate, love the blue and red light combo. Better than doing a L.E.D mod hey.

Hey! There's nothing wrong with an LED mod! At least the LEDs will last longer than the markings on that cluster face; enjoy it while you can read it.

That looks like a real one from the T series to me
If so it'll last as long as the dash
I got one a few months back and they really are easier on the eyes
The fake ones never get the blue numbering right
