Hi mate , looking Sharp , it's all in the small details

I actually cheated and fitted them on top of the originals as you are supposed to remove them so the new ones illuminate properly, I did it this way just in case I didn't like them, so will have to do them properly next week.

 

[Althulas]

Try them now if your not busy and post a pic

All tucked away in the garage for the night, I was out at dusk and they are usable but not great.

Mm the right 3.0 lt , I am sure it's not out there any more

The only tricky bit is that the pins on which the needles rest don't pull out so you have to maneuver over them

Always wondered what blue dials would look like with blue/black trim? Shortly after getting mine in 1999 I saw a picture of blue Hamann dials in a Autovogue advert in a BMW magazine but they weren't available in mph so I looked at the Loxwood dials that everybody was fitting in white of course. Well I ordered a set in blue but found you had to remove your original dial faces which on a car that was only a year old and the possibility of having to buy new dials from BMW if I didn't like them or got it wrong I put them in a box.
Now I have a set spare dials I may dig them out and give them a try? As I remember I thought the Loxwood looked a bit tacky on the rev counter.

Now which box did I put them in??
