Do you mean the glass or the black/white bit that says fuel/temp etc? The glass is easy to get, don't know about the other though. Personally, I'd just go to the scrappy and pocket a few. But then I'm a tight git.

Its the bits that say fuel and temp mines are a bit rough. I could paint them but the problem is getting the lettering.

I wouldn't bother trying to paint them. You'll have to get the lettering spot on or it'll annoy you for ever. Try getting in touch with smith's themselves I'm fairly certain they still sell spares and parts. Although, given some new ones would cost roughly £45 is it worth the hassle? Or are you as tight as me?
