In the US, most V8s are automatics and most 200s are manuals, so the
cluster wouldn't have the PRNDL display.  Unless this is for a 5-speed
(or the cluster was taken from a non-quattro, which is an automatic),
then I don't know.

The V8 also has a clock where the 200 does not, and reset buttons
on the right, which the 200 does not. But all that does not mean
it wouldn't "work"; but it may not work 100%.
