Know where you're coming from... A bit over the top maybe. Yeah, ebay (1972dragon). Might just stick to some tasteful aluminium dial rings.

Have this, therefore it's grand. combine with dial rings, KMC dials, and aluminium dial cups for best effect.

Reckon it would look better without the 'FTO' cutouts...

Yeah, I think the FTO cut out is a bit fiddly. The planner ones were on my old car when I got it, and with white dials, aluminium rings and cups, it looked very nice IMO.

It's down to personal taste I guess really... and depends on what you have with it - dials, rings, needle cups, etc. I have a carbon fibre dial surround, aluminium dial rings and needle cups.
As CJ said, if it didn't have the FTO cutouts it would look better.

Thanks for the input, guys. Auction has ended... They didn't sell, so they will probably be back up again. Think I'll start off slowly and get rings. Possibly build up from there

Yeah the cut-outs are too much I think.. it's down to personal taste..personally I really perfer the plainer stuff.
