R53 cooper Guage option

Hey is $200 for the factory optioned gauges a good deal? Doesn't have nav. Like the 2 guages in the middle and the center Gauge is filled with little guages

The Chrono instrument cluster is $575 from a dealer so I'm assuming these are from a wrecked MINI.

Not sure this can be retrofit on a pre-facelift car. If it can coding will be required.

Suggest Googling "mini cooper chrono retrofit".

As far as I know you can't code used speedometer and get them to work properly because of the odometer. I could be wrong though, I'd ask your local dealer first.
