Default Instrument Panel modding...

Was wondering if someone coudl tell me a decent website - preferably UK - to buy some glowing gauges?

Also wondering if it was possible to buy a Mk4 style dash and fit it in a mk3?

And lastly - what other kinda stuff can you do to / for the instrumental panel for a nicer look? I quite like the glowin idea - i would love it to be blue like it is on a Mk4..

Is it possible to change around the possitions of the dials?

Look up S3designs.com. They are some beautiful guages.

Here is one example, but they have a few and in different colors.

s3designs are the only way to go for an MK3, IMO. I got my set a few months ago and just haven't had the time to install them. They are gorgeous....

Thx for replies guys, the problem for me is that I'm in the UK - and for my car the redline is slightly lower than the usual... It starts at around 5400 and goes to 6500 ish.....

I'm really after an identical look to the Mk4 - even if the clocks aren't in the same places, just the colours i'd be happy with. Any ideas???
