Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The thing is, my Boxster was imported from the US to Europe, and now has i have the gauges in MPH and Fahrenheit. I've been looking for new faces with KM/H and celsius, but can't find them anywhere. Seen white ones on ebay.com in MPH for $20, and metric ones in germany, but which look ugly, and costs 180 euros!
Any tips where i could find a set of preferably OEM looking ones for a reasonable price?
Why not replace your entire instrument pod with a lightly used one acquired in locally? There are no dead Boxsters in Finland?
This company in the UK has a very nice selection of parts cars:

Came across those too, but they obviously have everything, except the black ones for the 2.5. And IMO it's just not worth paying over $200 for all of them as i have the digital one programmed to km/h.
To switch the temp readout press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the temperature up ("+") button to switch between degrees Celsius & Fahrenheit on the Climate Control Temperature and Instrument Panel Outside Temperature displays.
This method worked on my 1997 model. It bay be different for later years.
