So my friend got the C36 cluster for his C280 and I got white face gauges.

Looks like a very clean install. I recently tried this on my cluster as well but the gauge faces ended up bubbling all over the place, I wish they turned out like this!

@Chim, very carefully haha, no but its a pain in the butt, a very tedious patient process.

@Emil, thanks man, sorry to hear, i actually just purchased legit c230 sport guages with white needles, a mod that will be killer!

@Hunt, thanks man, both designs are awsome. ^^

Well, the first time I did. Its a PITA. But patience is key. U need to be very careful.

Those gauges are good.. but I just cant settle for them, I want legit Sport Cluster gauges. I'll probably dish them out. These are solid piece overlays, not stickers, but actual overlays.

I replaced the face on my speedometer due to fading issues about 8 years ago. I pulled out the needles but you need to be very careful, they can easily snap off and break in several pieces.

Double what mercy said, I was scared out of my mind, luckily, my friend went through this already and knew from ... ahem.... experience. Lol.

Are the white faces smooth or a bit textured?

I've been wanting to do the white SLK gauges but i'll get around to it eventually.

Hate bringing up a old thread.. But I got rid of the white gauges that I had... and instead put Mercedes OEM Sport White Gauges in my car instead ^^... I need to fix that darn LCD screen haha.

That look awesome! How did you go about switching the needles from the orange to the black & white?

how did you remove faceplates when you did the swap first time?
are they glued on the back of the cluster?

did you just lift the plates of their 2 stabilizer pins on both sides?

when you put the new ones did you have to glue them on?
