It's going to be out of a wrecked car or form the dealer.

and you'll need to recalibrate the odo from miles to km...not sure if that's really worth the hassle.

not sure if we are talking about the same thing here, but i'm referring to the odometer (how many kilometers you have actually driven on the car). you'll need to convert the actual mileage driven (by the previous owner and you combined) into kilometers driven. swapping out the instrument cluster will not change that (to my knowledge at least - i could be wrong tho). and if you don't adjust your odometer, it is illegal and you could face criminal charges (if you sell your car, and it shows you have only driven 20,000 kilometers, that's really misleading as it doesn't take into consideration the mileage from the previous owner that sold the car to you).

call your local car junkyard and see if they got what you want.
