Default Opinions - My Dash/illuminination

Finally getting close to it all matching Since getting the stunning Stack in (Radders ) ive had to make everything blue.

Ive modified the clock and gauges. Need to do the heater controlls and cig lighter. Not sure whether to do some bits red? Here's the pics of it now. Night cam phone, so blurred

Leave the red bits red imo.

Let me know how you get on changing the colour on the heater dials, I would like to change mine to silver


Looking good dude
