The circular plastic cut out for the gauges- you may find it easier to install your rings if you gently shave some of that black plastic, so as to widen the opening a little for the rings to fit. I had to do that on the larger holes for the tach and speedo. Try to snap them on first, if you have trouble, get a box cutter/exacto knife and just shave a tiny bit of plastic off the inside of the gauge opening. You need to press kinda hard to make sure they snap in and slide all the way down into the holes. Good luck! JV

the easiest mod ever YOU DO NOT NEED TO CUT ANYTHING, JUST SLIP THE LARGER RINGS IN THROUGH THE OPENING DONT WORRY THEY WONT BEND IF YOU DO IT JUST ENOUGH. it was bitch putting those in and then cleaning the inside, i also put a little screw driver mark on the inside but you cant really see it in the dash worst case i can always buy a new cluster cover thanks for the DIY awsome more to come hehe

Alright, alright - you guys are driving me crazy! I "installed" my BimmerSpinners a few weeks ago when everyone else did, and now, just a few minutes ago, I just finished the gauge rings install! Once again, thanks to everyone on the board, the install wasn't too bad. Those plastic + tabs were really tough though. Why do they have to design things like that anyhow? Oh well, the job is done and they look great. So what are we doin' next?

Also fitted the aluminium rings from Bavarien Motorwerks and they are very good quality .If you sand off a little on the rings themselves ,it is much easier to snap them in....Make sure you disconnect the battery otherwise you OBC will go back to German default!!!!!!!

Rings were waiting for me at the house yesterday along with ACS pedals I'm still in a cast, so who knows when they'll be installed. Up next, aluminum running boards and a good wash/wax... and coming soon, when topaz meets carbon '00 and '05 4.4 photoshoot.
