    I bought my chrome bezels from Moss a few bits at a time. Not cheap, but more affordable than buying all at once.

    Fitting is dead easy as the Speedo, Rev Counter and Gear Surround have a "peel off" glued bit inside the bezel. The Moss centre vents are thin chrome rings which you have to glue on the face of the vent surrounds. I used a clear sealant which fixes them fine, but doesn't make a mess of the original fitting as the sealant is rubberised and can be cleaned off.

    Moss ones cover outer part of the instrument surround etc, while Cool New (and some other makes) cover the whole (originally) silver surround - ie they're deeper.

    Hope this helps. They look great with my S's alloy-look dashboard.
