Thought I'd start a thread to show my progress with these things
I've started on the KMc V3's. I am not going to make exact replica's, copyright and all that, but I can make them close. This is what I have with these so far ....
Everything is done with vectors, so colour and font are pretty simple to change. Obviously still have a ways to go as this is just a basic rough out, but thought you guys might like to see

Looking good. Just an aside, KMC was a single person in the UK. He closed down a few years ago now. Doubt youd have an issue with copyright.

Just playing about with a simple background change.
I'm also working on making a template to change all the warning lights as well. I have everything now except the exhaust warning symbol. It seems to be very specific to our cars.
I wonder why anyone would stop making dials that seem to be rather popular?

Fantastic work. The green stripe is not my thing, but youve done a great job on the design itself

Yeah not a fan of the colour, but liking the work!
Would it be possible at all to steal a template off of you at all please?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the green either, but just wanted to see what it looked like
I've been tempted to get the stainless surrounds, but it seems like everyone has them so I keep putting it off

The only bad thing to the stainless surround is if the sun is in a bad spot you can get a moment or two of glare but thats it (:
Luckily I got mine for free with tge car haha

Don't see why not
Does anyone have a vector of the logo?
Also, I think I might have to make this set of dials for Matt ......
