Cluster swap with a twist.....can this be done ???

Ok so I've searched and come up with how to swap a S5 cluster to a S4 car many times. What I want to know is if I can take just the four round gauges on the left and put them into my S4 cluster along with the black gauge cover ( slightly trimmed of course for the larger S4 tach) ? This way I get the best of both worlds. The round gauges and the larger Tach. Has anybody ever done this one before ? Come on Icemark I'm sure you've been asked this before, or at least thought of it ? BTW this would be turbo clusters.

no, gauge sizes are different

mechanically they are the same, the display is where they are different.

The only way to do it would be to cut the display panel, and use the round on one side and the speedo/tach on the other
