Do any of you happen to have an entire list of the things the RHD S550 does not have compared to the US model? I'll keep this post updated with all the differences:

*Anything I've got wrong don't be shy of correcting me.

UK model:
Clear Tail lights/Brake lights
DTR lights are in the 'fog lights' not on the Tri-bars
Tri bars are 'reflectors'
No Engine Machined trim interior for Ecoboost
No central gauges in Ecoboost
No spoiler
All come with premium pack default
No Recaro seats

Edit: SSC:

& Sync 3 not in 2016 builds, no plans on release yet.

Edit: Croyde:
No Strut Brace
handbrake/cup holders not swapped for RHD.
UK model down 5BHP on Europ model thanks to manifold redesign for RHD.

Lets hear from you guys :hail:

And that's the majority of them including the little niggling additions I've got in mine - Anyone else who's got one, got any others?

Perhaps the question is does anyone really care what we don't have?
We have the car and yes, while it would have been nice to have the 'same' car the fact is we don't and never will have so why the spilt milk attitude?
Would anyone who has ordered or is going to order one not going to because the cup holders haven't moved (and they are in the same position in plenty of European cars so can we please just drop this once and for all!) or we don't have a certain kind of brace or the back lights aren't red?
Didn't think so.
So what is the point of toothcombing this to death?
The decisions were made that it was not possible/economical/practical and that is that. Yes we can all bemoan the big company squishing the small working guy etc etc but why give yourself a headache pouring over what we don't have - let's celebrate that we actually have a RHD Mustang now :-)

Yep it's at the bottom right column in the tech section of the picture! (No blind spot indication either...)

[/MENTION] Yep, lets get the referedum done and out of the EU (not UE ;) ). Bearing in mind a lot of the reasons we don't have cool sh1t is because of Europe... Who wants to vote the new 'Mustang Party' into power? Or should we become more widespread as the 'Car lovers political party' or the 'Petrol head Party'? :lol::cheers:

Only the RHD GT is down 5bhp due to manifold redesign, ecoboost is unaffected.

We get a different lower grille than the US boys.

Whilst that is true, it's good for Ford to have feedback. Some decisions, such as the red tails were, allegedly purely to make a styling difference between UK and US cars. I'm sure a poll would swing in the "prefer them red" side........so a thread like this may make a difference to future UK Mustangs and their owners :)

Guys, lets keep on topic and keep this strictly to differences between the cars.

The aim is not to toothcomb anything, it's soley to show future buyers the clarity of what they've ordered without getting their hopes up for certain things within the car, it's also to show Ford what we'd like to see, i'm sure all EB owners would take the gauges in the cars (Not in due to metrics), Red tail lights, etc.

I want this thread to soley be a topic that shows the differences as a refereance point for everyone to come back to should they need it - so please keep it on topic.
