The trip computer side of things will be in place. The Check Control side of things won't. Which means you will have to acknowledge about 7 failures every time you start the car.

You could fool the display with sory wiring, as check control items are simple on/off signals.

You will need to check if you have wiring from the wiper stalk to the display as well

What would be needed to install Check Control? The control-unit nturally, some of the sensors are difficult/nearly impossible to retrofit but is there anything else? How does the bulb failure control work? Does it need any re-wiring?

The check control would need a bit of wiring. Look at the wiring diagrams to see whats involved.
