If it where me, get a set of second hand VDO's or similar. Ive never had any experience of using oem clocks outside of there car but even if its
easy there always going look like where they came from.

The easiest option is to buy an all-in-one dash like the Evodash, Stack etc which have all you need in one, compact display. The trade off however, is
cost.

Money dependent obviously.
If your car is a modern engine and you want the modern look I think ETB Digidashes are hard to beat. They look trick and work well. The set comes with
all of the senders you need aswell.
Stack are the dogs meaty bits but they cast a stack of money. . . Ha ha. . . sorry
There are others like Viper but my mate had right trouble setting one up and gave up in the end.
Tradition look is always the dialed style. They look trick, you can choose the style, fitment, colour and size. Alot more versatile depending on what
look dash your trying to achieve.
All should work with you car and electronics.

RMD gauges are pretty decent. get them from rally design.
modeo gauges are most likely going to need some sort of recalibration at some point. some functions probably need the original ECU.

I had a ETB digidash in my Viento.
It was well built and easy to wire but my major gripe with it was that you could not program the screens, you are stuck with the defaults but they
never had the information I wanted all on one screen. I kept having to flick between them which turned into a PITA.
