Hi everyone >>

I have i have fitted a piano black dash facia on my c3 from a wrecked Ds3. everything went great until i had to mount the speedometer surround. i did not notice that the different models has a slightly different sizes in speedometers so it wont fit. i was wondering if anyone knows or have tried to retrofit a Ds3 speedometer into a c3 since i also like the idea of a temperature gauge and the red lettering fits very well with my Citroen. :D

So far what im aware of the speedo i need to get has to have less miles on it than my car has otherwise the computer will go haywire.

Any input would be greatly appreciated :)

The BSI will update the odometer to whichever is higher.

If the speedo has more miles than the BSI, the BSI is updated to match the speedo.

If the BSI has the most miles, the speedo is updated to match the higher miles.
