    White Face Gauges

    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.

    Are the white faces smooth or a bit textured?

    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?
