Gaunty Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I took a drive in a Passat and turned the lights on to be horrified by the brash blue illuminated dash. I said to the guy that was selling it that it looked like the designer had thrown up all over it, he said I was the only person he'd met that didn't like them. So, I already know I'm a right miserable old bastard with no taste whatsoever. So how about a pole to decide for fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I dunno what the passats ones are like but the one in the R32 are georgious. When i picked my mum up in the car she said she was jealous of the cool lights, and she has an SL55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Red's the only right color at night. Dolphins are cool too, but I wouldn't want them in my car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't find it any different (in terms of visibility/driveability) than the red ones in my A4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lagoo Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 do like the blue, but the red is nicer, my 'M' dials are a tad dull but hey who looks at dials much when you have passed 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Red always reminds me of those old mobile phones, with the digital numbers.. BLue is like a modern new age colour...get my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Pron Golf... For the record, the blue lights DO look cool in a Golf. A mate has one and it looks great. Thoug tests say red is THE color at night, which is why (professional) boats have red lights in the cabin. Same goes for planes I think (some of our pilot friends might know for sure). But for our daily use it doesn't make that much of a difference I think. Love the red S8 dash though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munki Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I had to register just to get this off my chest, the blue and red dials are the greatest I have seen in any car. So far, seems like a decent forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Good to have you aboard mate, and as only the third member from Sheffield.

shao_khan Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I think my merc dials were orangey colour which the dealer told me was the proven best colour at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munki Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 We should start a "Where are ya?" thread or an "I'm in Sheffield" thread. So what are the best places in Sheffield for parts/tyres/MOT's/etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s4dreamer Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 [ QUOTE ] So what are the best places in Sheffield for parts/tyres/MOT's/etc.? [/ QUOTE ] I got my last tyres from Challenger on Rutland Road - prices were pretty good (for Toyo's) and they seemed friendly enough (for tyre fitters). Prior to that I've normally used Hawley's on Sharrow Vale Road. For parts and MOT's I usually use Gilders, although for smaller stuff, I have used VAG Parts as they come in a few quid cheaper than the dealership (but of course you have to fit it yourself or find a friendly mechanic).
