    White Gauges

    Does any one make a cluster with white gauges for the R8?

    I have my R8 coming around christmas and wanted to start to pick up some upgrades so I have them when I get my car.

    No, not seen any but isn't it a bit 'Max Power' for such a car?

    I would have thought that you being from the UK would have said something about European Fords having white gauges, Also Porsche and some other highend cars have white gagues as option. just so happens that dodge has white gauges has nothing to do with me wanting white gauges in my R8, to me they could close dodge down anyday I wouldn't care more then hoping for the people to find other jobs.

    A gauge change on 70s and 80s 911s was the norm for me.Easy to do.just pull the gauge out of its hole, dissassemble and change color of face.I would'nt want to attempt on the Audis ! \"/ You meet the nicest people driving Audis R8s ! (at least MOST of us at this forum). Saw an R8 driver at the LBGP today and boy was he unsociable. Seemed to know about my car though.(Daytona grey with an exhaust).

    Sorry Ian never heard of that Magazine where is it out of? UK
    Considering that my R8 is Solar Orange and will have some other upgrades
    maybe it can be considered Max Power lol well my mods, except for the white gauges if I can make that happen and some wheels everything else is performance upgrades.

    Ian, look at the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 they have white gauges as option
    they are perfect. Of course I want something that looks factory if I was going to do it.
    Cheers,
