Did this to my diesel v70 a couple of weeks ago, but with the blue gauges from xc90 r-design. I see that the cluster you are robbing the parts from also is from an xc90 since I had to do the exact same modifications to get it to fit right. Only difference for me was that I already had the black watch dials so there was no need to solder anything, just plug and play on that part. At first I only swapped the faceplates and needles and ran it like that for like a month or so but wasn't satisfied altough I didn't have to modify antything for that to work. Took me a while to figure out that the xc90 had taller clear peaces behind the temp and fuel gauges but man was I happy when I found out that all I had to do was swap them over to be able to have the silver rings ontop of the watch dials for that "deeper" sportier look
Hey! I agree! Was worried about it not looking right and was like screw it , let me try the other clear pieces and it worked!😂i was about to go crazy with the dremel 😂
@@positivegarage yeah I was about to break out the dremel too but figured it was worth a shot swapping the clear pieces since the middle gauges lined up. Altough I wonder why the xc90 has the smaller gauges that tiny amount forward and all other cars using basically the same gauges don't. To be fair I did notice that there was a bit of a gap between the needles and the faceplates on those smaller gauges even when I ran my stock setup so maybe that's the reason 😂 weird tho that they left it like that for so long and just fixed for the xc90 😂
