I hope they've swapped the wipers over as well, difficult to see from the pictures. Looks like the have.
If they are like the Fusion/Mondeo they don't need swapping over, they cross over in the middle and wipe to vertical on the outer edges of the screen.

Check out the 2nd link showing the under bonnet shot. You can clearly see they have swapped the wipers around to suit the RHD as you can see the mounting points of the wipers and the way they are sitting :)

now that you guys seem to have resolved the wiper issue, do you expect your rhd uk steering wheels and the controls on the two spokes to be identical to the standard lhd wheel ?
I'm interested in getting the new gt350 wheel but need to confirm that it would be a straight like for like replacement
Many thks

I have looked at both the US and RHD steering wheel, they are the same. So yes it can be changed over.

Yeh definitely and its only $169 USD plus shipping that is very cheap for an alcantara steering wheel, when I was looking at one for a GTR they were $970AUD

I know there was talk earlier about the cup holders being on the "wrong side" for RHD.... Just thought I'd point out, that's exactly the way my mk2 focus is right now. In fact a quick check on autotrader shows that most focuses without an electronic parking brake are set up "wrong". And mondeos and fiestas appear to be the "right" way round. All three are sold in the US, so maybe it's just a ford thing!

The handbrake thing has had me looking in all sorts of cars and every Japanese motor I have seen has it on the wrong side.
