Project 500

[EssentialMINI]

Something ive really wanted to do, ever since i knew the 500 was been put into production, was to do the dash lights! Something, as iconic as the MINI i already work on, is open for huge mods (i believe anyway) so heres hoping i can come up with some funky new designs

Work in progress.....so keep an eye on this thread.....

OK, so here we have some modified gauge goodness. Front LCD screen lit with blue, needles now blue with back lighting to match, and numbering changed to white. The whole look is immense, and looks far better than i thought it would be. Driving at night seems to make you more apparent to the speed your doing, compared to the orange lighting before. Note the camera i was using doesnt show how crystal clear the LCD really is
