hey folks wondered if i could pick your brains on this one.i know that when u take the car for an sva you have to get the converter on the pack to transfer it to mph and derestrict it.but do you actually have to change the speedo dials to mph aswell or can you just leave the originals on it.any help appreciated

can you just not stick MPH stickers on the plastic bit infront of the speedo?

You can get away with just removing the k.

cheers ZippyEFC so itl be ok then but i will have to get the box at the back that converts it into mph and de restricts it toughg.

No idea mate mine was already done.Make sure the conversion gearbox on the speedo matches the existing numbers ie 0-180.
