It is very lovely ZermattV, but comes very much second to Imola Red :D

Just a red strip down the flat bit on the top of each needle - all red would look a bit Civic I think :D
Erm, thanks. (All red on Alpinas) :poke:

Hmmm .. Mine aren't, they're tri-coloured......??

Being a serial thread hijacker myself I have no problem with the way this thread has wandered onto Bing's Lust That Should Not Be Named. But that's just insulting Woody :x

Hard to tell in the light. I thought they were all red, but they could be dark grey/black on the edges

Except with the lights on its almost reversed...

Stuart ... Mine are the same

It's red centre stripe and dark blue outer edges. What I thought was light blue must have been old-age eyesight :oops:

Problem is I've now looked inside the car and its dusty. So I need to go clean it. Damn.
