At my age I probably should leave well enough alone and stay with the stock gauge faces except they are hard to see in the bright sunlight. Another old age plague. Anything you can tell me will be just fine. If you make them, can you make them white faced?

Thanks,

The SLK230 and the SLK200 cluster faces will fit just fine, the only difference being the redline placement on the rev counters of the l4's vs the V6's (6250 vs 6000). Both have 80mph on the vertical as opposed to 90mph on the SLK32 and 100mph on the SRT6 respectively

I butchered the SLK clock window because I needed it lol but for comparison:
