By changing just the face plate I think everything else will keep working fine and the mileage will be correct. What I don't know (among many other things) is if another model Mercedes gauge face plate will work on the XF gauge cluster. I've seen MB model 230 clusters advertised but don't know if they are the same as the 320's or the XF's. I'm assuming, I hope correctly, that just the face plate can be changed. It appears to be a seppart item from what I've seen and seems like it should interchange on re-assembly.
If you have any idea's let me know.

JHM2K changed his to white years ago, let me see if I can find his posts on it, it looked good.
He changed the whole panel to an AMG panel. But you can see what that looked like.
Someone else got the gas gage to work correctly, JHM2K never did, his car was totalled before he got that far. He was a great contributor here.
