taken from http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/mazda/3-mps-2007.aspx

they are mazda 3 mps gauges from australia/europe. Much cleaner look without the mph. Not sure if the faceplates are directly swappable tho, their km/h ends at 280!!

Couldn't you just remove the film and block the light output from the LEDs for the MPH?

Not that our cars will ever see 280km/h, but yea, it is a nice clean look, but I like having MPH as I travel in the US quite frequently..

Besides, the more the speedo reads, the harder I'll try to hit that last mark..

UK and some of the europe countries uses MPH IIRC, thats why some of the Mazda 3 MPS comes with MPH gauge also. I'm not sure which country uses which one, it'll be hard for me to find. I just know Australia comes in km/h only.
