Will dispatch tomorrow & Friday

Glad they reached you OK!!

The 2nd run is well underway. I will hold off on the polishing until some pictures are posted as this may help others decide on polished or not.

Thanks all,

shakey

Got mine to day! (6 in total) how long they take to fit?

I didnt get any myself, but im curious to know how you fit them - do they just sorta snap on, or do you use a little adhesive of some sort?

i stuck a tiny bit of blue tack on the inside of mine and there u have it... pressed on...

Ahhh Bluetak - Is there anything it cant do!

I used a match stick to get a tiny bit of glue...real small amount...one of the smaller ones was a very tight fit...however the others were loose. Looks very nice now...

I didn't use anything, & i guess they will come off when i go over hard road bumps

if they were as loose as mine they will...I simply gave the dash a quick bang and 1 fell off...no way it would last with my suspension

Can i still add my name to the second run in polished please.

KIDDING!

They are loose so as the needles aren't damaged when fitting as it is very easy to press to hard and push them in (a problem with the rev counter IIRC) I think blue tac or some light double side tape will be the best bet to hold them on as you may wish to remove them at a later date and if glued you could be in trouble

Hope everyones happy with them any problems just drop me a PM
