As far as doing the cluster swap for the "Older" generation clusters, it will have to be from a C2 up to 01. These used light bulbs instead of LEDs for the idiot lights, so you will likely have to put a bulb in for the convertible and spoiler lights. All the warnings, etc will work properly then. You will have the mileage from the new cluster, as that is where the data is stored.

Sounds kind of risky with the milage thing. If you sell your car later on, how does the person buying it know the real milage? Did you have to have it reprogramed to the correct milage, or did you leave it with the new milage on the odometer. I would not want to show a false odometer reading and with one that shows more than is actually on the car.
And how did you get white face gauges? I only see black ones for sale. Did you get a later model one that came this way or did you switch them out?
