If you already have an MPH dial it has the KPH also on the dial, although in smaller digits.
You can also switch over the trip computer into Kilometers using the mode control switches.

I do not want to do anything illegal , I dont want to change the mileage, thats on a digital display anyway, I just want to change the dial face on the speedo to KPH as I struggle to read the small red numbers on the kph display without specs on ,going on extended trip in euro and it would be easier to keep eye on speed if if I changed dial
Seen various sites where you can by Mph dials but not Kph ones

Off topic with your original post, I know, but I found that the speedo reading on my Garmin sat-nav was better to read - and more accurate - that the Fiat's speedo - and it's switchable between metric and imperial too. They're so cheap nowadays that it may even be cost effective ....

Lockwoods make replacement dials for many vehicles. That's where I got a Sprinter MPH dial to replace the original KPH one. I am not sure if they make the 'reverse fit'.
However, if you replace the MPH dial (which also shows smaller kph markings) with a KPH dial, that is unlikely to show MPH. It is illegal to drive a UK registered vehicle without MPH indication. I know some people (and importers) mark the 30/50/70 mph positions with stickers, but the law requires that the mph markings are visible under all conditions: i.e. they must be illuminated at night. That is quite difficult to achieve with markings stuck on the 'glass' of the dial cluster.
