I picked up a set of these from the UK maker (the-tuning-shop.co.uk). I ordered a set from Germany like CSVT1214 did and as he as pointed out, there no fun to install (glue, clamps, etc). Not wanting to screw around with gluing I sold them and ordered these instead. The UK made rings have a extended lip that you simply press in and lock from the back. No glue required!

One of the best under $50 mods I've done.

They worked out so well I contacted the owner of the shop who retails these and let him know. He requested I send him some pics for his Contour ad's. He now has U.S. ebay listings (I bought mine off UK ebay) and is selling these for $45.98 shipped from the UK to your door.

You can also pick these up directly from his website...

What do you guys think?
 
I was expecting something hideous. I like it. I would rather have the green glow still.
 
from straight on i couldn't really tell, and thought they may look cheap... but the side angle proved that wrong. i think they look great..

now if only i had enough patience to take the console/cluster apart :blackeye:
 
How can you tell how fast you are going :crazy::laugh:

Anyway...I'm in for a GB discount!!


In the meantime I guess I can start a list for Icy:

Just curious about your gauge cluster.
Red SVT, red kM/h and white needles ???
Click to expand...

The white needles came out of a SE model. They are the exact same design, length, and weight as the Red SVT needles. Overall I think the white needles flow better but the big reason to use them is they allow me to backlight any color I choose. Though the pic does not show it well, the needles backlight a darker bright blue in contrast to the guage faces. It looks tight as hell, pics dont do it justice!

I'll post a zoomed out shot once I'm done completing my interior mods later this month. I've been hard at work modding my interior and the trim rings are just one of several things I've got going, Got a special interior project I'm wrapping up! :D
