Wow, those needles really pop.  Did you do something with them?  Love the Euro gauges too, BTW.  I always felt that they're more informative than the US version, despite being electrically identical.

Hey Dave,

painted the needles in orange with a very small brush.
I used revell-model color.
If you apply the paint really fast in one go, it will look clean, like it was built that way OEM.
Took me some tries for every needle to make it look clean, so that you can't see that the color was applied via brush.
