Default clocking

i know this is a touchy subject, but im after buying some swooping clock for my blob but cant for the life of me find a set with anywhere near my current milage, and if i get in the car each time to see its almost doubled in milage, that will p*ss me off everytime i look , is there any company out there you can drive to that will match your current speedo to your 2nd hand one?

Many thanks Dan

They came standard on the UK hawks too but you will get a couple of lights stay on if you put them in anything else apart from a Hawk, They can be wired to go out but cant remember off the top of my head but i think its handbrake and rear diff temp lights.
