Does your rev counter have a chrome surround??

All the other circles in my motor are matt silver,, but the rev counter one seems to be shiny and chrome....

Is it easy to change??

Everything in mine is chromed...I think from a previous thread that they are really difficult to remove on gen 2's but someone else might be able to help you.

I've chromeline as well so can't help sorry.

But I do know the dash parts are hard to replace but the rev counter maybe easier as on it's own!

My old car didn't have it. Just the matt silver ring to match all the others. However when it developed a fault with the rev counter, a rattle I think it was, they swapped it out for a rev counter from a facelifted car. Which didn't have the ring and it was just black plastic - like this:





No matter of arguing with the dealer that they'd robbed me of a decor ring as specced on the car would persuade them, they just offered to refit the defective rev counter.

Of course it is possible in your case that the JCW rev counter doesn't come without chrome.

Ok... I have already mentioned it to Berry.

I really want them all to match, so if the whole unit needs swapping that's what I will push for

I think that is the best thing..hope they do it for you cause if you are anything like me that would drive me bonkers..

Hi

Yeah.... its driving me bonkers!!

I have OCD with cars.... the tiny circle round the temperature is also chrome, but I can live with that as all the other switchgear around that one is chrome too.

It does seem odd why one gauge ring is chrome and the rest are silver

Honestly think its a build error,,,, and needs sorting, just hoping I can get Berry to agree (I have mentioned it twice so far)

Mine has no chrome inside and the rev counter has no chrome either. Pic...
