Pity I did not see this post earlier, I have UK supplied RS and since I live in Ireland and we have Kms not Miles we could just have swapped. maybe you'd sell your old KPH face ?

A great post though, you have some skills and ***** of steel to attempt that.

Don't you worry about me, all done and back together, have test fitted them to the car and all good.

I fitted them and kept the silver centre rev gauge as I thought it looked the best.

Back together-

Really happy with how they have turned out, looked factory and although fiddly wasn't a bad job to do at all.

Need the weather to sort itself out and I can have the car out.

Not too worry AC, as you get older, you'll calm down.

To be honest if you have a little bit about you and are careful it really isn't a hard job to do, there is a lot of plastic that has to be removed etc so just got to take your time so not to break clips etc
