Not sure if its just me
But the speedo lights are standard orange
But the speed dial nobble bit is the same colour, this is the bit that moves around the dial & tells you how fast your going
Any way of changing this
I hope you know what im on about
Question

There are companies who do replacement colour led's, but I'm not sure whether they would do that. I can't remember who do them now, I'll try and remember - you could have a search or an ask on totalMINI though, as somebody's bound to know over there! Smile

No problem, if I can remember who it is, I'll let you know!

Have you got the speed showing on the OBC in front of you? Smile

Yes thats the best option i think for the digital readout
But it would be nice to see the dial more clearly, I dont know it just could be me being fussy maybe, but looking on EssentialMini site they have some real nice dial lights on there but cant see the marker im after
Its proberly going to grow on me just to use the Digital readout
Thanks for your input
Regards

I know what you mean. I've just changed from gen 1 to a gen 2 and I'm finding it difficult not having the speedo on the dials in front of me.
I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. I don't like the big central speedo dial. They would all look better if they were neon blue lights instead of the orange.

A feature sadly lacking on the earlier R56s.
