been looking at some LED dashboard viddys on the youtubes 
anyone got one or got any helpful info?
the more old-skool-looking the better. 
MX5parts sell it

I suppose it depends what you mean as āold skollā [sic]
Lancia Orca old school?

Iāll bet the mean time between failures on that Lancia dashboard was not longā¦
Going to be a lot of plastic shrapnel when the airbag goes offā¦

omg luv it. i think iāve seen an install viddy of dat one. exactly what i had in mind.
heheh yeah, as soon as i sent the msg, i thought i didnāt really explain what i mean. i suppose i mean nowadays LED displays in cars are nothing remarkable. but modern ones look exactly like that modern ones. nice smooth fonts for the letters and numbers. some people, maybe most people, want modern ones. they donāt want throwbacks. not knocking it. but personally for a car thatās 27 years old, i would go for the LED displays of the time, perhaps slightly before. kind of like Back To The Future type displays. 
as for dat green one, er, no. 
Love that 80s futuristic tec, I wouldnāt have a clue how to work it but it just looks so good and ahead of its time, I believe its old school tec like this that pushed the boundaries and paved the way for the advanced technology we have in our cars today

exactly. i thought they would be super complicated to install but thereās install vids on the youtubes showing people putting em in. i certainly couldnāt do it. but plenty of people can. yeah, i find the modern displays very impressive and they look great but theyāre not for me.
Iām lost. the car concerned is a Mk1, with instruments very much modeled on a 1960s display. But making it look like a MG Maestro dashboard makes it look for āretroā.
Most of the dash swaps are for race cars, where they need a more detailed, switchable display.
