Something to break up the acres of grey and a gps speedo as a hud (kinda)

Three digits there "just in case"

Or does it do km as well?

Hah, yes it does KM, I expect they all do.

How expensive out of interest?

Have you a link?

Both from Amazon, the blue strip was under a fiver for 5mtrs so I could do more but I think less is more so it's fine as is.. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08SHFNF56

The speedo was £15.99, it's pretty accurate too, had to adjust it slightly to match the car's reading but no idea of it's longevity. Powered from the rain sensor usb socket, cable tucked behind the fascia. Amazon.co.uk

I'm interested to know why you would adjust it to match the car's speedo?

Cars always slightly overread, as does the MG. Mine overreads by about 1mph at 30 and 2 mph at 50. I would prefer to know the accurate speed, as measured by GPS.

Indeed, I am quite surprised that the GPS read-out is adjustable, as I would imagine that it is completely accurate.

Chinesium gps speedos are not always very accurate so they usually have some adjustment in them, this one was close so needed only a little amount. I would rather it match what the car says than not especially with only a small variation.
I've not measured the car versus my own satnav yet but it's something I will do as the satnav (tomtom) is accurate.

Interesting. My MG4 arrived properly calibrated with zero over or under reading at any speeds. I assumed the MGS5 would be the same.

I've never driven any car that didn't over-read including my MG5 and MGS5.

Mine definitely does not.
