Re: Brighter gauges for Mk1.

[Jeremy Salda <roccoguy@mac.com>]

Where'd you get the gauge faces from? I can't find them anywhere anymore 
for an MKI. Also, has anybody done any more radical mods to their 
gauges, like trying to get the red/blue combo that's on the new cars? 
I'm down for more light and white faces, but if I can modify it even 
further, I'll try it.
