Converted ?, that would be refacing the speedo., I think you´ll need to purchase an mph speedometer. |

Cheaper to use a few discreet tape marks or a sat nav gps |

I learned km to mile math pretty quickly. If it's a 30mph road, then it's 48kph. Easiest way i calculate it in my head is that you take the 6 that appears in 1.6 (1 mile = 1.6 km) and multiply it by the first number in the posted MPH speed. So in a 30 mph, multiply 6 by 3, you get 18. Add 18 to 30 (the 1 of 1.6 multiplied by 30 is 30) and then you get 48 kph. Do that all day and you get the answer pretty quick after a few weeks

Thanks I have messaged them but not sure if they can do Camaros but will find out.

I have driven other kph cars but i prefer to have it properly converted if possible for UK roads. |

A speedometer is a speedometer, it doesn´t know what vehicle it´s in. Probably just needs a new face stuck on it in kph. |

I've always found it interesting that MPH speedo's always have KPH, but KPH speedo's don't have MPH  Or are we talking about a different type of speedos
