Default Done a little something for my ZT today

thought I'd do a little something for my own car today (the typhoon ZT). Do designed and made up some custom monogram dials and changed all my led's to blue, something I'd been wanting to do for a long time. And also enabled the digital speedo. Swapped out the ZT clocks surround for a lovely black and chrome set out of a 75 too with the black needles Here's a before photo and then afters

Stunning. What is a Typhoon? Has anybody ever put a veneer around the instruments? M.

Typhoon is the name for the pearlescent colour of my ZT



I don't think anyone has done that before, but I could probably have that done if you want it

That isn't surprising given your car is LEF Andrew, but look on the bright side, the paint for your car is not £1000 per litre
