I really hoped they would do the allignment right on the EU cars. 3rd brake light and right side of the trunk look bad :brokenheart::mad:
Why is there a Front Licence Plate Bracket mentioned on the sticker, but it's not on the car?

Is the red lens in the backup light a second 3rd brake light? See post #1 photo of the rear end.

At the bottom of the car? That's the rear fog light.

Doesn't appear to have the paddle shifters either. Will that come standard on the autos?

On US cars, that lens is all white and is the "back-up light". On the EU car, there is a red lens in the middle, and white lenses on each side of the red lens. So what's the red lens for?

Yep - that's the rear fog light for the Euro cars - where is that on US cars? Is it part of the triple rear lights, or do you not have these?

Yeah, can't see them on that photo, but can't believe there aren't there - I presume they're just not visible from the angle of the photo...

US cars have the lens in the same place, but it is one large white lens with one bulb inside. Light come on when car is put into reverse ... it's the "back-up light". No red lens in the middle like the EU car.

So you have no requirement for a rear (red) fog light? These are mandatory in the UK (at least) and are much brighter than normal red lights - needed for our grey, rainy foggy weather (and that's just the summer [emoji6])

Our reverse lights are the two white lights you see either side of the red fog light.

Glad to see windscreen wipers are properly reversed for RHD.

Well spotted. I'd forgotten about this. I think this is another area where some manufactuters don't always bother, so kudos to ford (for once!).

Would one of our American owners have a look at the interior picture of this RHD mule and see if you can tell which stalks are on which side of the steering wheel?

ie; is the indicator stalk on the right side of the wheel?

Thanks.

US cars don't seem to have a "high intensity" fog light light that Euro cars need. I have never seen one on a rental for example, or seen them in use in bad conditions.

But it is good to see a RHD - even if it is a "pre-production" model of some kind - would be great if they can get it for a tour of UK dealer - simiar to what Ford are planning to do in Australia.

I am not concerned about the handbrake location - my MGTF has it in the same place and it has never caused me a problem..
