Talking Back in the game

Well after nearly 5 years being out of the scooby scene i have just bought myselft an 04 STI JDM blob. Picked it up on Friday and i am loving it. Want to say a massive thanks to Tony Burns also who took the time and effort to go and have a look at the car for me when i wasn't able to and gave me a detailed description of it, you sir are a legend. Next step will be to get the bodywprk touched up and get the brake disks replaced. The car is in Km's, i have been doing a lot of searching and cant find a definitive answer for getting it sorted. Is there anywhere that is able to convert the speedo and odometer to miles legally or is this classed as clocking? Is it possible to just replace the dial face to one that displays the reading in Km's and Mph. I have been looking at the converters but am i right in thinking that that the car will start to clock up miles from that point onwards? Any help would be greatly appreciated

They do just trying to find somewhere that can do it all, it seems easy to convert the speedo but the odometer is another matter.
