Will dispatch tomorrow & Friday :)

Glad they reached you OK!!

The 2nd run is well underway. I will hold off on the polishing until some pictures are posted as this may help others decide on polished or not.

Thanks all,

shakey

I didnt get any myself, but im curious to know how you fit them - do they just sorta snap on, or do you use a little adhesive of some sort?

I used a match stick to get a tiny bit of glue...real small amount...one of the smaller ones was a very tight fit...however the others were loose. Looks very nice now...

if they were as loose as mine they will...I simply gave the dash a quick bang and 1 fell off...no way it would last with my suspension :P

They are loose so as the needles aren't damaged when fitting as it is very easy to press to hard and push them in (a problem with the rev counter IIRC) I think blue tac or some light double side tape will be the best bet to hold them on as you may wish to remove them at a later date and if glued you could be in trouble :D

Hope everyones happy with them any problems just drop me a PM :wink:
