Default Defi question

Is it possible to get new faces for the BF gauges? Mines covered in little scratches and looks shit in the light.

I don't think so, well not easily though.

Have you tried polishing the face with a very light cutting compound? Like T-Cut? Or Brasso?

Worth a go IMO!!

Try it on the front of your mobile phone first!!

I used to clean my watch face with that sort of stuff when I used to wear Swatches (plastic face).

The good thing is that the actual gauges aren't horrendously expensive anyway, it is the sensors / looms that cost the majority of the price listed .
