Milotec Chrome dials Fitted

What do you think?

The fit is not great, the dials do not match the profile of the rev/speedo ,plus something really annoying is that the plastic screen is bonded to the dashpod so I had to glue it back, because it's a sealed unit the fumes from the glue casued some misting of the plastic, which I was majorly screwing about, what else could I do but fit them in the car

Let's see if I'm still happy with these after a week.

I thought the Milotec ones were stainless


Did you have to shave off the lip surrounding the dials?

They have a chrome finish.

You only need to do that for the tachronge.de ones. The Milotec ones fit straight over the top but like I said above the fitment is not 100%.

They look good at a distance but after all this effort and money I'm thinking about either refitting them again or removing them, they've only been on the car 6 hours and I haven't even driven it with them on yet. lol

dials

I fitted mine from behind, that way you don't need to remove the front. They fit through the back gaps and just push on with fingers through the speedo/tacho holes

Fitted mine last night using this method and also fitted the fuel gage one. I think they look good - go with the other chrome bits on the elegance.

Halfrauds do a set of star headed allen keys for Ł8 that are brill for removing the speedo and cheeper that a torque wrench set
