Description:	PLEASE NOTE: This set has 'Miles per Hour' graphics. If you prefer 'Kilometers Per Hour' please select that option from the drop down menu. I have been wanting to redesign the gauge faces of the MINI since before I owned one. Seeing it at the Detroit Auto Show and experiencing the car in person made me realize that the dials had no detail and were a bit boring. So, after way too many months I finally got around to redesigning them. First, I wanted to get rid of as many of the 'busy' things that detract from the design. So, the warning lights went away....until you need them and THEN they light up. The result is a clean, simple look with more open space. The next thing I did was add more tick marks around the perimeter to show more detail. I also changed the font to make it a bit more interesting yet still refined and in character. Lastly I rotated all of the numbers for both the tach and speedo so they read horizontal to the ground. To top it all off, I added some flavors, again within what I consider to be in good taste. Now available in Charcoal Grey (shown in pic), White, Black, Red, Green (close to British Racing Green), Blue (a bit more nuetral than the Hyper Blue but works with the Indy Blue as well), and a Black on Grey Union Jack and Checkerboard. All of these yeild a good amount of contrast so you can still see what you need but add a ton of character to your MINI. All of these subtle changes make for what I consider the best looking aftermarket gauges available. When made to our strict standards, you can be assured that you have the best available for your MINI. Installation is straight forward and can be done by your average mechanically inclined person with 1-2 hours of time to invest. Otherwise, it may be best to hire a professional installer. Fits these MINI models: 02-06 Hatchback without Nav or Chrono 04-08 Convertible without Nav or Chrono
