I have just received one of my lovely birthday presents, a nice set of shiney bezels for the dials on my S - Thanks LeeBee they look great.

Does anyone know how easy these are to fit for a complete technical idiot?

Cheers

Drop Mike (V8smith) a mail, he fitted his in the car park during the S meet at Silverstone....

It couldnt be easier, the smaller bezels just slip right over the top, no need for any glue as they are a tight fit! My larger dials where 'fronts' only as they were embedded into the dash and I had to glue these on! But if they have sides I think they just slip over the top again not needing glue. Very happy with mine just mailed Lee about all the other bits I am waiting for!

Cheers

Thanks Mike - that will explain the glue that came with the bits!! As always assumed that the job would be way more complicated than it actually is.

I've started the transformation with a satin alloy handbrake and gear knob and steering wheel. Also thinking about the chequer plate floor too.

Perhaps some bezels (I actually bought some and discovered the Tiv guages are an odd size).

OK, OK, I'm just as bad
