Octavia replacement dash panels, any good?

Hi, good old Soviet here,

I have been roving around e-bay, and some of the foreign e-bay's and have seen this from Germany:-

Has any one had any dealings with this firm, and bought any thing from them?



BLUE LED SPEEDO DASH Skoda Octavia VW Passat 3/B 3B - (eBay item 190159780795 end time Oct-14-07 12:47:46 PDT)

I have e-mailed them to see what there offer is about, and what type of Skoda it is suitable for. To me it seems too cheap to be true. What do others think?
My cluster is working fine still, but I was wondering if this would replace it, if it did ever begin to give me trouble again.

I think you'll find that these are just the blue LED's to go into the dash and not a complete cluster.

Of course, I am embarrased now. What a silly mistake for me to be making. I thought that this was very cheap price, and now I know why.
Thank you for telling me this, as I had not understood properly.

They look pretty nice.

I was tempted to change all the dash leds to blue... no idea how big a job that'd be tho and i'm generally pretty crap at doing things like that so best to leave it!
