Has anyone done this on the different type of clocks in a mk4? IE 1997 onwards... If so could some1 post up a scan of their clocks so i can have a bash at photoshopping them before i do the mod?

ived used the template to design my own clocks, but there is no way its going to print and fit on a a4 sheet, how do i go about printing it?

is the size its scanned the size it needs to be? it seems huge?

What LED do you recommend to solder and any advice on haw not to get the LED's the wrong way round?

Also tomorrow I'll unclip mine and scan it in, maybe someone could photoshop it for me white as well on the other 6n dials?
