I drive a US Dodge Charger with an american mp/H speedometer. The secondary metric scala is way too small and it is almost impossible to read the correct speed.
Do you know a place where i can buy a metric speedometer face or the complete gauges? The dodge dealer in switzerland can't help me.

Hmm, try the Canadian sub-forum, I believe we have a dealer thats a forum vendor.

this may not help you much but its easy to memorise some common mph to kph conversions for eg common in europe and middle east are
Kph - mph
30 - 18
50 - 30
80 - 50
100 - 60
(my friend had a US spec camoro and had to memorise the above as it made it easier for him not to get speeding tickets lol :p)
these are the usual speed limits in our reigon... another way is to if you have an 06 or 07 with evic is to first change the settings to metric and then go into diagnostic mode and put the digital speedometer on

also 402 motoring i beleive have gauge faces for sale and maybe they can custom make you one?

Luckely i haven't received any speeding tickets until now, but i'm driving way too slow in the citys... 1-2 miles over speed limit is USD$40 here in switzerland!! Thanks for your conversion chart. Unfortunately i don't have the Evic system in my car. I think i go for the additional speed gauge..
Do you have metric gauges in your car?

Driftking.. with evic you can choose between the 2 standards... but it only effects digital readings the speedo still moves as normal..

maybe if the gauge faces cant be found then you can get something like the MSD dash-hawk or Gtec pro :).
