DIY install

I found the original BMW gauges a little too boring and since I'm not yet ready to switch to a AIM Strada I decided to give them a make-over.

I liked the F8x M graphics and font and also wanted to borrow something from the new ( modern ) digital cluster, I talked to Venoxy and told him what I imagined and he made my vision reality

The idea behind the "GTS" logo is that the whole theme of the car is a "GTS" version of the 228i ( lighter weight, better cooling, better / stiffer suspension, GTS rollcage, bucket seats, 6 point harness water injection, aero ), as is the BMW GTS a better version of the M4.

Now i finally got some spear time to pull the pictures and add some notes to them, so here is a DIY:

Thanks a lot for posting this.
It's a little more involved than I had hoped but still worth while given the results.
