right now it is a 80% grey but I hope to do Pantone color matching on
all the colors before printing so I will try to get the antracite as close as possible...

We should be able to accomodate the single face but the graphics may be an issue when switching to KPH because we don't know how they line up on the actual face...if we have a sample to scan we can make a CAD version...

Side note: wish these came out about a year ago, I wouldn't have spent so much time and money matching silver in my gauges

Looks great so far,

Frodo

P.S. Indi Blue gets my vote...if not black is fine

Hi Aaron,

Will your center gauge for the actual chrono pack change as well? Cockpit Specialties chrono/navi version only changes the speedo/tach. Thanks

ac,
AC,
Thank you for the reply Doesn't the oem in the US have both mph and kph you could use for the markings(mine is US spec but I got it direct via Military sales)? I like the font and the single format (only MPH) and if I was in the US, I would buy it. But, I am "stuck" in Italy and I need either only Kmh or both Mph and Kmh, as mine has both now.

As for the Minis in Canada, I think they have a dif spedo and it has a turn signal light and other warning lights that are dif too. One of them can chime in on that.

Anyone else have a use for Kmh? I understand you cant make every single spedo/color/Kmh/Mph, I am just checking if it can be done and if anyone else is in the same boat...er Mini.

Thanks again,
Frodo

no...sorry the chrono center face is actually molded so a flat stock replacement would not work....

While I don't have a Chrono gauge set - what.. I purchased my car three years too early?! - I'd like to see what could be done with that, seriously. Hell, I just wannt get my hands on a chrono face, to take apart!

...you know.. in case anyone wanted LEDs done on it or something.

Does anybody have a pic of the Chili Red faces installed/ preferably with a silver dash? Also, when I go to Cockpit Specialties to purchase them, i get redirected to an eBay store, where there are no red ones available...does this sound right?

thanks. I sent my CD face to Paul at LEDmods.net to get it matched to the MINI's dash. Should be interesting....not a bad deal really.

these are sweet but do they make them in racing green, or can anyone suggest a good color for a racing green cooper.
