The surround is an independent component releasably fastenable to an instrument cluster, with the back surface of the surround facing the front surface of the instrument panel and running parallel to the front surface of the instrument cluster, and with the front surface of the surround that faces away from the instrument cluster following a path that conforms to the path of the instrument panel in the vicinity of the respective driver's seat. A surround is used for a vehicle with left-hand drive, with the front surface of the surround conforming to the path of the instrument panel, and with another surround being used for a vehicle with right-hand drive, whose front surface conforms to the path of the instrument panel in the vicinity of the right-hand driver's seat.
