C5 dash gauges in a C4?

Has anyone ever seen a custom C4 interior with C5 gauges fiberglassed into the dash instead of the digital ones? Is there a site anyone knows of where I can see different examples of custom dashes?

thanx :cheers:

I have seen custom dashes with aftermarket analog gauges... but interfacing the electronic/analog C5 gauges? ouch.... that just sounds plain old complicated.

I think the company that makes it is like C5west or something. I know they sell some kits on ebay too. Try searching for them.

Th kit from C5 west uses the stock C-4 gauges they just provide a newer style dash and door panels.

Re: C5 dash gauges in a C4? (bogus)

I've researched this for a few years now.I spents countless hours on it and getting a C5 cluster in a c4 car has all sorts of problems..the C4 is the easier of the two..the C5 cluster is a complicated unit and doesn't like being "hacked" at all.Then I worked on a "analog"replacement unit for them this is the way to go but doesn't look as good.I eve had a company make a unit but they took my cash and never provided product.I've given up on it.
