I doubt it's possible tbh, without buying a set of R dials and pulling both sets apart. ???  Could be wrong mind..






Scratch that! Turns out i was wrong! ;D

Good luck changing them and not ending up with buggered instruments / instruments that are so far out of reading accurately that they are useless!

Will be a pain to do and from reading it looks easy to bugger set of clocks up, might be worth pricing up set of R clocks and have them coded in?

Far too much effort, replaced my dials on my fiat punto once and it was a nightmare.  As said, when you take the needles off it means so much effort putting them in the right place.

The best way to get the blue needles is to buy an R - they're already fitted  :grin:
