    I believe I saw the white gauges for sale on OEM plus. I really like those gauges as well.

    There is a thread about this in here somewhere. I couldn't find it, but as best I can recall it can be done but Audi doesn't support it.

    OEM plus claims that they themselves, or the dealer can perform the install. Can't see why the dealer would have a problem with this as long as they have record of it being performed by authorized dealer.

    You may be right. I don't remember exactly what the issue was.

    Yes, you can fit differing gauges and those from the R8 GT. However when ordering the R8 GT gauges they may want a valid R8 GT VIN, though it's not required as with other models which have security features in the cluster. If you are interested in doing this swap I could assist if needed.

    There is also a white V10 gauge set, has a V10 in the gauge versus the GT logo.

    Cheers,

    I was the one who brought up the problem. Audi USA told my dealer that they would not support the swapping out of gauges, meaning they're ****ed if there's an install problem. Understandably, although I could order the gauges from the parts department, they were very hesitant to install them. I figure if Audi wouldn't support it for whatever reason, it wasn't worth it. Plus, I will immediately imagine any slight dashboard squeak or rattle that I heard was a direct result of the install. Decided not to bother.
