Transparent stick-on conversion for speedometer?

Our new Audi comes equipped with metric system in Canada. Hence, we read KPH instead of MPH on the speedometer. Our old Integra had both KPH and MPH with larger KPH which served as an easy reference of speed when traveling south of the border.

We can just as easily convert in our minds but has anyone heard of a small, circular, transparent plastic stick-on thing (i.e. not a sticker, thus, non-invasive) that can be placed easily over the KPH speedometer to allow us to see corresponding MPH?

Clearly this may be useful the other way around. Many times I have reminded my American family and friends that measurement system here is metric, not old English...

Perhaps I'll just make one myself from saran wrap. ;-)

Odd. In US models, there's both. Big/outer circle is MPH, smaller/inner is KPH.

Don't use saran wrap

That probably wont work too well. Your local screen printing shop would be able to make up a batch printed on that clear static-stick stuff. The only problem is that they aren't going to want to make just one. You should see if you can get 100 or so Canadian A4 owners to buy one. I would guess the cost then would be around CAN $5 or $6 each, especially if you provided the "artwork" and used only one color.
