This should help.
First is stock....
Take off top steering cover in the middle of the gauge cluster, remove the 2 torx screws , then unplug the three plugs behind the gauge cluster
Remove the two torx screws behind the cluster and pry out the 9 tabs around it and separate the cluster
Ahhhh the rings
2 rings installed
All rings installed
Cluster back together
Install in reverse order... plugging in the rear plugs was a PITA...
Ohhhhhh careful not to scratch the Rolex presidential.....thank god..
And the final pic
All in all well worth it. Glued the rings down with clear silicone adhesive... turned out great.
I did this mod on my old Mk4 Golf.
You don't actually remove the perspex from the pod. You remove the speedo console and undo half a dozen screws which split the front section from the clocks.
You then have to install the rings from the back by gently squeezing the alluminium rings and passing them through the holes in the back of the front half of the binacle. You then need some gel superglue to attach the rings permanently. Just be very careful with the glue as any spills with ruin the effect .

When i got mine they said they would click into place but they didn't lol. Theres not much for them to click into. Glue did the trick though.
