Assuming you mean speedo ones. I had a set on my 5 series. Reasonably easy to get speedo assembly out but hardest bit is the fiddly task of setting them against the dials once you've fed them through the gap and taken the adhesive backing off. Almost impossible to re-seat them once they touch down. But looked good IMO

The ones im looking at are clip on and no glue required, hopefully easy to fit.  :-[

I got some on mine, bought 4 or 5 years back. They're the clip-in type. I like them over the bland look.

Get some - don't have a pic of mine but can upload one if you need it?

Received my rings today and just fitted them. They clipped in ok but the two big ones are a bit loose. Crap quality plastic but look ok.Image
