I bought some of the ebay ones a while back. looked good in the box. After much swearing and p*&^**g about i threw them in the bin. The rings just wouldn't sit where they were meant to. it said in the instructions that they just clipped in place.

getting the clocks out and stripping them is easy. the front of the clocks comes off and you squeeze the rings through the holes and try to locate them.

I would get anni clocks, look much better.

You need Rhyso to see this thread, as he did this to his!  They look very smart, indeed. 8)

Not sure where he got them from, though. :undecided:

Ebay shop called Parts PLaza - not sure if its still going though; they were based State side - cost about £15 and look like this

it is a bit of a fiddly job - no more than half an hour though and the end result is worth it :afro:
