Custom gauge faces?

Howdy!

I'm in the process of getting my Chrono Pack up and running in my R53 but got me wondering... the rest of my interior is blacked out (or on the way) so why not the gauges?
It looks like someone named Cockpit Specialties created OEM quality, dark replacement face plates for both the regular and chrono dash units as well as the gauges above the wheel. However, they don't seem to be around anymore and literally the only custom face plates that seem to be readily available are from Out Motoring (I personally just don't like how they look either).

Am I SOL? We there others around that someone could point me too? I saw some replica GP faces but not for the chrono, and that was about it.

Thanks!

I would also be interested in any options available for custom dials,
links much appreciated.

I've seen a couple of guys on instagram doing cool stuff,
both based in the UK.

Here's some of their work with the chrono dials.

Ooh boy, that last example has me all hot and bothered.

Found a local MINI for sale with greyscale Union Jack gauges. I just assumed it was a weird option package I'd never heard of before.

Yep, currently chatting with Chameleon and Northern Lights to see what they can come up with. Ideally looking for just black faces but with the cool updated number text.

Did you ever find anything that's still around? I too am looking for black gauges that fit the Chrono pack
