White dials in in my 840

Hi guys!

Today i received my white dials from "SmileitsMe" . Thanks Richard they look great!

I already bought chrome rings from ebay.
And when the white dials arrived today, i could not wait to put them in!

Here is a few pictures of how i installed them:8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25003/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25004/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25005/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25006/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25007/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25008/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25009/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25010/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25011/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25012/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25013/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25014/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25015/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25016/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25017/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25018/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25019/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25020/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25021/8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/25022/

Of course i have more pictures of the installation , but for some reason i can't upload them...
Is it possible i have uploaded my maximum limit for uploading pictures??

Hi Svein,
yes there is a limitation. I will looking tomorrow. At the moment I can't do it, because we are in preparation of a server software update tonight ...

Greetings

Thanks Martin.
It would be nice to finish uploading the pictures of my new white dials, and Of course my next little project..

nice to hear your satisfaction! hope you enjoy them !

Greetings Richard.

Yes Richard, I'm very happy with them

I made the pictures "smaller" , i then was able to upload the pictures.(hope this doesn't effect the quality to much)

After i glued it i smoothed the glue out with my finger.
I then let it dry for a hour.
After reverse everything, this is the results:

I've been wanting to do this conversion for some time but to date have been unable to find a source for the dials. Now I will await your detailed explanation of how to to do this before attempting it myself! They look excellent!!

Have you tried this one: http://www.nrauto.com/gugeslisting.php?i=Mjk=&c=BMW&p=MQ==

I'm happy to help, if you have any questions

Thanks! I wonder how easy it is to replace the dials on the gauges, especially removing the "needles".? You seemed to have received the gauges from Richard already converted.

Yes , that's right i got them complete from Richard. It looks like they are glued on, just make sure not too put glue over where the light is coming thru .
The needles should just pop of, using a kitchen fork , like shown here : http://www.bimmian.com/M-Style…r-BMW-E90-or-E91-3-Series

The limitations are:

jpg, bmp etc.: < 1 MByte
max. 500 MByte per user

Cheers

Where can i check how much i have used?
If i have reached my limit , can i get more Mbyte?? Or is it all over for me with posting pictures...

Attachment Statistics - I'm not sure the forum administrators can/will increase the amount of storage for each user or individual users. You might want to look at one of the online image hosting services, but a lot of these delete images after they have not been viewed for a certain period. This is really annoying for people who visit a thread months or years later through the search engine.

If the forum administrators don't want/can't increase the uploading limit, maybe there are someone who can recommend a online image hosting service that don't delete the images over time,(I have never used this before, so don't even know how these works) i've been in threads where all the pictures missing , and that just sucks...

In all the years so far I've noticed that dark faced gauges are a lot easier to read, day or night. White/silver gauges do look great but when the sun is shining down like here in Hong Kong or its very bright outside I've found they can glare quite a bit and sometimes they seem to "washout" the reading making it hard to read a gauge at a glance. Have never had that problem with darker faced gauges.

You might be right Richard.
Only had them installed for a few days , no problem so far... not much sun though
