I had to check a couple of things in ETKA anyway, so I was curious to see 
what this item would cost. Well, if you think an UrQ digi-dash (@ $2.2k) is 
kinda steep, hold on to your armrests: a LHD instrument panel reading in 
MPH for a manual V8 would cost a staggering $4.4k!
That's from Dutch pricing (not really current, I'm afraid- update dates 
back to Nov. '98).

Some black electrical tape over the PRNDL would do nicely for me. And hey, 
it's an Audi- quite likely the bulbs will fail before long anyway. :-)
