Your description sounds nice why would you want to give it a civic look w/ wht face gauges? You might as well add a fire extiguisher and a gauge pod if your gonna go that route. White face gauges won't match anything in your car. {Keep it original}

All the new AMG's have white face gauges. I thought if done nice, they would look nice. As long as they were done exactly like the factory set.

There's one company based out of Europe that makes them but the quality isn't very good, and their customer service is non-existant. The last person I know who ordered from them was shipped the gauges for the wrong car (although his purchase order was correct) and was refused an exchange or refund.

Don't pay attention to people that say "it's a civic thing" - most mods we now see on ricers took a cue from european cars.

Any by the way, all cars in Germany come with fire extinguishers per TüV regulations, and there's nothing ricey about adding gauges to your car provided they're doing something and not simply there for looks. I'm adding a boost and wideband a/f gauge to my car. If the car was not supercharged, then yes that would be ricey ;0)

Ummmmm I have read all your posts and really hate to correct you but damnit LOL I have to.

It really is not true that we need to have a fire extinguisher here to comply with regulations...all we need here in germany to comply is a first aid kit, warning triangles and a road vest. I know for a fact many people carry them but its for the sole purpose of protecting our investment should a small fire start. Hell I rather try and out it out myself instead of running away and letting it go up in flames.

You can find them on German Ebay:

f150 guy, Every car should have a fire extinguisher whether it be a Yugo or a Ferrari. If not for yourself then for another motorist in need. The Civic comparison is rather tired imho.

its the w208 with a sport suspension, plastic carbon fibre interior, white dials and different wheels.

for example there are mb models that have classic or avangarde, there also is sport.

DIMIT,

I am also waiting for the grill that I paid 3 weeks ago. What is going on? Where is the tracking number that you keep promising to send?

This is not cool!
