Visual Boost Speedometer colour change

Hi there. Greetings from Portugal.

I'm a proud owner of a 2009 MINI Clubman and I'm looking for someone who can help me.

Is it possible to change the colour of the Visual Boost Speedometer from white to another colour? If so, is there any DIY out there?

Thanks.

I would try YouTube first. But I believe I've seen some on possibly Outmotoring. I think there was more stuff like that for the first generation.

That is going to be a lot more involved. You're going to have to take it apart, desolder the LEDS (assuming that's what they are) and then solder in the color you want.
