HISTORY
Skewer Limited is the place to come for
the ultimate in custom designed replacement dials and vinyl graphics. On offer is the highest
quality of product with the best customer service around. I had spent a couple of years gaining experience before starting Skewer in January of 2003. Those formative years showed me that it was not only the quality of the goods that was important but the customer service and advice given with them. Over the years this has resulted in a reputation second to none. It is still a small company with just myself at the reins, which is the ideal situation for a consistent service from start to finish.
Dials - I have built up a range of templates for many cars and have continued to develop
the production of the dial sets with new and better meterials and better methods. The dials are designed
on the PC and after cutting the vinyls and polycarbonates on the latest cutting technology, they are assembled by
hand for a near perfect fit to the stock dials. Due to advances in backlighting techniques the dials are full replacement,
as opposed to overlays, giving the best lighting at night. For those cars with warning symbols within the
dial face, development has meant these can be truly hidden until lit keeping the dials looking clean and original,
unlike a number of other replacement kits.
I have had work featured in a number of the industries magazines such as Japanese Performance, JTuner, Fast Car and Banzia. I also had graphics on four cars running in the Time Attack series of 2007 aswell as some of the best known cars in the scene, such as Adrian Smith's Fensport Performance GT4-X monster. I am also working on my own project cars, Rufus and Quartz, which should themselves be magazine featured sometime in the near future - proof in itself that Skewer products are of the
highest quality and ensured to turn heads!
I enjoy getting out to meets when I can, often attending major shows such as Japfest and JAE, and have enjoyed some cracking road holidays to Europe. I'm also into web design and development, having done this site and currently learning ASP.Net. I am also a keen music producer, check out some tracks on my MySpace site. My PC never gets a minutes peace

Graphics - Pulling in from a huge range of ideas, I can create custom graphics to suit any style or look, from
the humble sunstrip, to side stripes, to logos, to full body custom designs in the style of WRC, BTCC or Drift replicas to name a few. I also provide a number of club graphics and can create single or multiple batches, not only for your vehicle but for your place of business or home aswell.
I have been working in the business for over a decade. This has given me an insite into good design - the difference between good graphics and the rest. Attention to detail is the key. Graphics need to be designed with the shape of the car in mind to give a nice visually weighted result. Colours can be used to create different moods within the same design and match in with other modifications on your car. Angles of the car can be played with to create new and unusual effects. In the end, it doesn't take me long and look at something and know what will work
