Super thanks alot buddy.
as you've added sport clocks to your car now, looks pretty cool with the orange back light. (how comes there not white?)
have you managed to get the correct mileage on there?

Its not white because its from a 2005, same phrase as mine. the white dials are from the phrase 2's 2006 on.

The mileage I haven't got it sorted out as I was in a rush this morning. It aint too bad only 2K difference, but I took pictures before and after also keeping note of the miles done since the change, so i will get them done.

As you would know Renault Enfield don't know half the stuff they do stock or are capable of doing! :D

Ah wicked i like it,
but is yours a diesel? does that not effect the way the rev counter works?
how much did the dials cost you? new or used?

Hahaha as Eddie said.

Yes its a diesel :D dirt cheap tax and insurance (very vital when you live in Tottenham! :-D)

Rev counter works perfect, the speedometer rises a bit slower as 20mph had been added on to the top speed so now shows 170mph lol (which I never think I will go near loool)

I was used on eBay, guy wanted £60 I offer £28 plus £12 delivery and he accepted. No wonder he wanted so much fo delivery, box was so big I could put 5 speedos in there at least, but plenty of bubble wrap :D

Yeah I saw your one fella top job. I think my version has a more aggressive look on the front but I do like the facelift rear lights must say. I'm going to get some spacers sent out for the rear wheels next week so i'll take some pictures and you can see as well. Colour wise I went today to have a look, I liked the charcol/anthracite so I think it'll have to be that :D

Another quick update!

Found a pair of 25mm spacers, thought I'd buy them for the back wheels. Look good and no effect to the drive.

I brought them off a guy on pistonheads. theres loads on ebay for like £50-£60 new.

If your wheels are 205 the 25mm should give you same results as mine.

best bet to put them on, get a ruler and measure what the distance is from the wheel arch to the alloy.
