Title: Lockwood Dials or similar?
Post by robsa on Nov 24^th, 2004, 3:01pm

Sorry, me again (such a chatterbox!) I was wondering if anyone had changed their instrument panel with a different one, for instance like the lovely lockwood white dials with blue numbers?

I had a quick look on the net and found some pretty trick ally ones here:

But I would like some white/blue ones like a VW.

Anyone help?

They don't make them for the Scorpio. The Granada 95+ they show is the Granada one again, not our beloved froggy looking one. There are very few things available as after market toys for the Scorpio. I have seen chrome wheel arch covers on Ebay and I have a proper padded phone holder in mine. Other than that, because they were only made for 4 years, they were not an additions makers target audience!

Mine is an S reg and it is almost impossible to find a towbar that can be legally fitted because after august 98 (S Reg) all towbars fitted to cars with s plates or after, must have a type approved towbar. Nobody as far as I know bothered to get their bars type approved for the Scorpio because they were already out of production. I can have 2 identical cars with consecutive VIN numbers but because 1 is registered last day of July on an R plate it is ok, the 1st August one can't have the bar fitted legally!!
