Anyone know if you can somehow replicate the silvery grey colour of the standard VY dash? I have a black single-din plate for my stereo, but I'd like it to look a little more factory if possible.

VY_Acclaim: Can you please tell me a little mroe about the 2 tachos/dials on your dash. I have just purchased a 03 VY Berlina Series II today and would like to have the same sort of thing. I've seen them in Clubby's etc. What can you have there (ie: volts, oil, etc?) and how easy is it to install them. But the main thing, where do i find some and how much would i be lookin at? Cheers bro.

The two HSV guages are Volts and Oil Pressure (VDO). You can buy the pod and put aftermarket guages in them instead if you wish (AutoMeter, Stewart Warner, etc). The install process is complex, but instructions are normally included if you buy the set (I got an auto-electrician to install mine). It involves pulling apart the console, threading wires here there and everywhere, and installing an oil sender. I bought mine on eBay for $550 a few months back, which included the pod, two guages, oil sender, wiring loom and instructions. Alternatively, you could source one from performance garages such as CAPA. Be sure to get the VY pod, as the VZ pod will not suit your vehicle. Cheers.
Remember to post pics when you are done. :thumbsup:
