DuelL AG’s Gauge Faces for the R56 MINI
DuelL AG has recently collaborated with MINIMAX to create their very own gauge faces. I think they are probably the best 2.0 looking dials available. Though MINIMAX’s current line of “old school american radio” faces aren’t too bad either. But it’s a shame these DuelL AG items doesn’t support the R53. Looks like more and more cooler parts are now made for the R56 and up.
