Matching aftermarket grey gauges?

Does anyone sell after market gauges to match our JCW grey? I was looking at Craven and it appears they just have white faces to match regular models.

I'm sure you know the factory JCW dealer installed gauges have grey facings. A little pricey I admit, but look good in my 2013 JCW hardtop.

Do they have a backlight? If so what color?

Yes they do. Same reddish color as the speedo and tach, and all other lites in the cockpit. Muti-function, A/C, ect.

The JCW ones looks nice but are pretty useless other than boost. I'm looking for boost, water or oil temp and oil pressure.

The JCW relative torque gauge is for practical purposes a boost gauge. The temp gauge is a must have, and oil pressure would be nice. But believe me when you're shifting gears and turning corners you don't have time to look at gauges. When I raced circle tracks I looked at the water temp down the front straightaway and the oil pressure down the back straightaway. The oil temp? In the pits after the race!

Here's a photo of my JCW gauges showing backlight and numbers/needles lit. Installed on 2013 JCW Roadster.

You can order gauge face plates at Outmotoring.com not sure if it's what you are looking for but they look good on Aarons website. He's a great help with all things MIni

I wonder if Aaron ever got the design updated to include shading on the back to compensate for the led positions? I like his face design better, but the old Cockpit Specialties faces had varying shading on the back to make the light output even. I have some of the outmotoring faces from when they were first released. Love the clean look but am still slightly annoyed by the varying light (but not enough to McGyver a permanent fix with a dremel...)

I have the same temp gauge as on your left in my jcw and was wondering if you know what temp it reads in my car at least it's not coolent temp the numbers ant accurate enough it fluctuates from 0 to 120 all the time depending on how much throttle I'm giving it and after I figured it wasn't coolant temperature I thought maybe intake air temps but I doubt my intake air temps are getting as high as 120 degrees Celsius if you have any idea what this gauge is for and what it reads that would be awesome thank you.
