I'm not so good at translating so i'l just answer what i think you asked :)

In regards to aftermarket dial faces (ie. to cover the black faces on the speedo, clock, voltage, rpm, fuel etc.) installation is very easy.

In regards to installing something like a Defi HUD (which i have but didn't install) it's also fairly simple. Basically all you need to do is remove the instrument cluster (drop the steering wheel rack first) which is 2 or so screws, then locate the correct wires on the back and your set.

If you follow the instructions of any aftermarket parts like the ones you mentioned you shouldn't have any troubles, its all fairly simple. What I will recommend however is that you skip the application of the window tint patch with the defi unit. It's unneeded and very easy to scratch/bubble.
