spartan Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Let me start by saying that I am in no way affiliated with this company, just really impressed by their service. I'd been thinking for a while that the piece of black insulating tape stuck over the "k" in "km/h" was a pretty tacky (pardon the pun) way on getting my speedo to show mph. So I ordered a replacement speedo dial face for my VVTi from the Metal Monkey website: Metal Monkey Supra Straightaway I got an e-mail from Naomi at MM saying they'd received my order and another when it was dispatched (recorded delivery). The quality of the product and the fitting kit becomes apparent as soon as you open the envelope and it even comes with Supra specific instructions. I had a little trouble with the speedo needle (that needs to be removed) but this was overcome with judicious use of cocktail sticks However, when reassembling the dash. it became apparent that the bezel (that surrounds all the gauges) was partially obscuring the "MPH" lettering on the new speedo dial face. Particulalrly annoying as this is the main reason I'd changed the dial! I sent an e-mail off to Naomi to see if a corrected replacement was obtainable, fully expecting the answer to be, "No, sorry" but to my surprise the very quick response was, "No problem. Just give us a few weeks to manufacture it". Very impressed by this company's customer oriented attitude. I'll let you know how I get on with the replacement speedo dial face when it arrives. Maybe I'll be able to persuade them to create a matching rev counter dial face for the VVTi tiptronic ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Certainly look like some good quality dials on there - especially like the ability to choose a logo if wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I've had a fair bit of one-off stuff made by them for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
