hows it going lads just have a quick question im after getting a set of m3 clocks for my s50 project but they only go up to 140mph would these be very early m3 clocks or has someone swapped out the 160mph clock for the 140 one?

You can get them on ebay, however they are generally white faces - people seems to suggest these ones dont light up very well at night.

I am making my own ones using translucent self adhesive vinyl - still work in progress but should be done in about a week. Costs a little bit more but I will get exactly what i am after. Here is a mock up but ive decided against the 160mph speedo as I just wont be looking at the speedo past 140 anyway and I cant be asked reclocking so that the '0' and '160' are even. Rev counter redline and re-clocking was more important to me.
