They just change to colour and layout of the dashboard.
Nothing else at all.

I do find the colour of the dash does impact my driving style and speed there is some psychology behind it but it will not work for everyone

Something to amuse you on long trips up the endless 50mph road

I've found the rev counter can only be trusted in performance mode, where the idle correctly shows as around 850 RPM. In the other modes (with the compact rev counter display) mine shows as around 1000 RPM. I thought I had a fault!
