Default Gauges help. KMH to MPH

hey guys, this is my first post here, hopefully I can get some help.

I have a 2004 A4 Avant 1.8T and a 2004 TT 3.2. They are both in KMH and I need to have them in MPH in order to be registered here (canadian cars).

I am wondering if I can just buy a new dial or gauge face or whatever, like this or if I have to spend a lot of money and get a new speedometer or something.

PLEASE HELP, I need to fix this problem ASAP.

Thanks so much.

I pretty sure you have to buy a new cluster. I got one for My A4 and it was $460. Good luck.

Yeah you'll need to find a new instrument cluster.

Startegically placed strips of masking tape with handwritten unit conversions. 90 kmph = 55 mph.

You should tell them that highway design is all done with metric and you'll be alright.

OH, you could make one on paper in your injet and just slip it in there with some crazy glue. 3.28 feet is 1 meter, 1000 meters per km and 5280 feet per km. Now I am actually serious... would it **** them off if you just put in a card stock or photo qual paper between the needle and the face?

Or maybe you could get a seperate gauge from like jcwhitney and just tell them you are running dual units.
