Default Dial faces

Hi

I need dial faces for my new 997C2S. Its a US car, sailed yester day through the Panama canal, on its way to Norway. I want to change the dial faces to euro, with km/h and correct temperature etc. Anyone know where to get them? I ahve found a set on fvd but its 500 euros!!!

Best
John

Hollywood Speedometer could probably silkscreen them for you. Check the web.

I agree,--when you live metric you don't want to have to look at standard.

May sound a bit picky, but I would like the faces to read in km/h and celsius, not just the digital display....

Don't think I've EVER looked at the analogue speedo in my car - the temp display is changeable as is the Digital speedo (as previously stated), I often change from KPH to MPH when crodding the English channel. Changing the speedo face ; Waste of time and money IMHO

Sorry to resuscitate the thread, but out of curiosity how did this end up for you? I am considering exporting a US 997TT and would like an accurate KPH Gauge face in addition to switching over the electronics. Does Porsche sell this part?

Since Canada is metric, perhaps the metric faces are cheaper there than in Europe. I agree with others above, I have never used my analog speedo, so could care less what units it displays. To me, it is a waste of space. Either give me a large enough one to use properly, or don't bother.
