just wondering if someone could be as kind as to scan a super beetle speedo face 1 to 1 size for me?

just working on a replacement that would look much better than plain black

thanks

Have a look at this site, they have a selection of different faces.

If they are not what you are after, get hold of a broken speedo, and dismantle it, then take it to a sign writer who can do digital printing... I have just had this done and it looks great the only thing is that my beetle is a 1500 so the gauge is different to the one your'e after.

Here is what I have had done any way.

You should be able to copy and paste these to paint or any other picture software:

Thanks!
Well, this is sorta a beta test.... I printed it onto cardstock and took it to Officemax and had them laminate it. I'll keep you guys posted as to how it holds up.
I have a thought...if the laminated paper doesn't hold up, I may get blank waterslide decal material, load it into my laser printer and copy it. Paint the original gauge backing white, transfer the decal and then seal it with clear.

You could also just get it from this guy. (That's what I'm doing.)
For $10.00 you save yourself a lot of time and experimentation.
