I heard from the folks on the Audi forum that these can be made by removing the original overlays, scanning them into a Bitmap file, using Photoshop or a similar product to change the colors, and printing them out in original size on some special transluscent material, like the plastic for transparancies. You then cut them out with an exacto knife, install and voila, you have your own custom gauges. The great thing is that you can make them any color you wish, so you can match your van's color should you so desire. Heck, you can even put custom graphics or a picture of the Pope on them! Oooooohhhh.... Chris, '85 Westy.
