Customized Speedometer Graphics?

New to this forum and coming from the motorcycle world of modifications galore, I'm thinking about doing something with my Cooper S, once I get it, comparable to what I did with my motorcycle: Changing the plain white speedometer face for a customized face with a graphic that says, "me"!

Here is the speedometer face from my motorcycle as-shipped originally:


Here is the speedometer face I had made:



And, here is how it looks on the bike:


The question becomes ... has anyone taken apart the speedometer on their Cooper (removing the needle safely, BTW) and changed out the faceplate?

Thanks!


UPDATE: Further searching, I found this post:

Sorry - I guess you all can disregard this post.

That looks cool except you can really read the numbers. Yes people have changed the faces. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...uge-faces.html

BTW, thanks!
I'm in touch with OutMotoring and will be ordering the replacement faceplates from them once I get my Cooper in-hand.
