just looking at a car for sale atm and i noticed that the central speedo isnt there and that the car has like an average cars setup of the gauges all in front of the driver..

if i was to get the car i would probably want to change this back to original with the central speedometer in the dash.........is this a feesable idea to do or is it hard to get it back to stock...i will try to get some photos but im not sure if the car is one of a user on here so id rather know roughly "theoretically" first.
cheers

The car may not necessarily have ever had the center speedo. If it is a clubman it only ever came with the speedo in front of the driver.

Saying this, you can swap the car's instruments over but it is involved. You will need to swap the wiring loom out for the front of the car or massively butcher the one that's in there.

Buy the instrument panel you are after, and be prepared to do some wiring.
