Default dial faces

Can the dial faces be swapped over?
I know if you change the whole unit out you need to get it reprogrammed along with the light control, which is why I’m asking if just the dial faces can be changed?
I’m looking at putting facelift dials into my mk1 as my personal feeling is the mk1’s dials are a bit on the plain side to look at.

That's very unusual for Rick, have you tried through his website? I know he's been very busy lately but he is normally on the ball.

Ditto - used Rick's services twice now from afar. Very good communication, told me when he received the parcels, when he dispatched them (quick turnaround), any questions I had were quickly answered via PM. I have on several occasions mentioned his services to others simply because of the lack of friction dealing with Rick. The only thing that raised any doubt in my mind was the very low price of his work but don't tell him that

Regards

I had facelift dials fitted by Klarzy a while back and they're much 'cleaner' I didn't bother with the clock and no-ones ever noticed.

Very easy job. 30.mins taking your time swap them over. Get a 2nd hand IPK and pull it appart to get your mk2 dials and then you will know what to do with your Mk1 set.

Yes, easy job! Swapped mine a few times lol. I eventually went the other way and fitted early type to my facelift. I also changed the LED's to orange, remember the facelift has white LED's
