Im going to be changing my dials to lockwood ones and was wondering if I should get shiny chrome rings or the brushed type which are not so shiny. Any ideas on which look best. :confused:

Do you have any shiny chrome on / in your car? If so, follow the theme, if not, go brushed. I went for brushed as I had the brushed aluminium interior so it flowed better.

It's all about the flow ;)

I'm never a fan of chrome, so I would say brush ;)

Hi

Does any one know were you can buy brushed aluminium rings from . I have only seen either chrome or painted silver?

Aren't the offical BMW ones painted silver?

From Teddy at ssdd-motorsport. Official BMW ones are moulded in matt silver. BTW, I've sent you your sticker :)

Hi peppernick, thanks for sending the sticker :)

I orginally bought some from Teddy, thinking they were the matt ones , but when they arrived they where silver chrome, so I am selling these on e-bay. Teddy told me that he stopped selling the matt ones (for the time being) because the quality was poor from his suppler :(

Going on from this, is it the white lockwood dials or silvery/grey ones I should be going for? What colours have you guys got?

Cheers :)
