That's your first real mod if I'm not mistaken.
Still would have been easier to buy and ///M though
Thanks Steve
Had to think about this... I guess you are right though. Springs were done by a garage, badges / stubby don't count. I did fit cup holders and spacers, but this is the first time I have properly taken something apart and changed it. Quite chuffed
...and it will take me longer than 90mins as well as a good deal more sweating to buy an ///M...

Bing, are the needles dual coloured, or all red?

Just a red strip down the flat bit on the top of each needle - all red would look a bit Civic I think

You know I was just joking Stuart
I am sure with the blue lit dials the red looks very classy indeed
Would only look Civic on a non-Alpina like mine

I was thinking more bodywork, Titan Silver sides, Imola Red on the top. Should match those needles a treat
