I have put original cupra r ones in my cupra they need to be fitted the same way the after market ones do , if you do it carefully the needled will match, here's what i did;
Take the clocks out remove the clear cover ,it is held on with clips dead easy to do, then find your self two tea spoons hold them the right way up and put the tip of each one opposite sides if the needle and push the handles down slowly, the needle will then pop off, repeat this on all four needles, remove the old dials they just lift off, now gently push the needles on to where you think is right, do NOT push right down yet now with out putting the cover back on go and connect the dials to the car and switch the ignition on you will see all the needles move (do this with a cold engine it is easier, and remember how much petrol was in the car) and are all out of position you will now be able to prise the needles off and re reposition them when you have done this switch the ignition off and then back on, the needles should all be where you want them if not you will have to do it again until they are,
this is a right pain in the arse but i found that it was the only way to get the needles spot on,when pushing the needles on when you are happy be careful as they tend to move downwards if they do this you have to start al over again, the other
problem i had was that if i disconnected the battery when i connected the clocks the immobiliser came on and the car would'nt start, but is you leave the battery connected all is well, except the air bag light comes on and will need resetting, my local stealer did it for free.
I hope this all makes sense it can be a pain but is worth doing properly.
