I have somehow scratched the clear plastic cover over the speedometer on my brand new 451 cabrio. :-( I did a lot of googling and I found out how to replace that part (Evilution rocks) but I can't find where I can buy a replacement. I'm sure the dealer will be way too expensive, so I'd love to find this part online...

Does anybody know where I can find this? or what the part is called even? I'm not having luck searching for speedometer bezel, cover, etc...

Thanks!!

Is it so badly scratched that you'd consider anything a good replacement? We've had one member put out the cash for a full new instrument cluster assembly since the piece parts aren't available (well over $600 total spent!).

While trying to figure out how I could ship the clear plastic flat, I managed to break the surrounding plastic on my "spare" and slightly scratch the clear plastic surface making the exercise moot. The broken surrounding plastic doesn't hinder it from installing properly but if you want a replacement as a perfectionist, it's probably not for you. If interested, I can try to get a picture to show the slight scratches.

I resemble that remark.

Oh my god I have a clone. :eek: The lense can't be bought alone it's part of the pod.
