just a wee pic of the taxi. once i get the dash LED change i will ad a couple more pics..




added internal door opening handle lights



leather door cards with working puddle lights (not fitted as standard to the car. I fitted and wired the lights up) it was fun..



First try at colour change on the mfd.

very nice

Nice job with the leather and puddle light,i dont have it but sometimes it proves to be of great importance when i got out of the car and sink like titanic

Air-con led change to white buttons and blue display.


Dash led change to white dials and blue needles with blue millage lcd.


Will have to have another go with the clock lcd because its too dark this time.

The clock is back-lit by (I think) three normal filament bulbs - looks like one of yours has gone out and needs replacing.

Cool! I like the find-me door handles I bet you got fed up with pissed up punters ferreting about all over for the door handle

Out of interest, another Taxi'er on here ages ago complained that the rear carpets wear quickly when carrying passengers and even break-through into big holes? coupled with the amount of times people kicked those pesky sill rubbers off and it got a right pain in the arse.

That sounds about right i had to change two of mine their cheaper on the bay of e than motor factors i found. Easy job to do.

I do like that quite funky.

I had a D9 that had been a taxi with 240k on (still ran really well) however the rear carpets were shot due to women and their high heels, all ripped along the backs where it goes vertical
Ive been in another 406 taxi that was the same, the driver said the carpets went pretty soon after the car was commisioned as a taxi

Wow... how did you get the air con panel to light up blue.... and the clocks for that matter! Please show us
