Is there a reason you can't swap the needle and face to the replacement speedo?

Which reminds me I didn't pay attention when I put the needle back on my 240D, speed seems correct but I should verify.

The 2.88 speedo that I have is all faded and dirty. I’ll figure out how to precisely match up the color to the original orange of the other needles.

No real good reason, just being anal. The odometer numbers on the 2.88 speedo are all dingy grey, but I'll just have to work with it.

Qtip and rubbing alcohol works great, I did this on my 240D not long ago. Makes 'em much more readable at night.
