You'd think they would make the gearshift symmetrical to LHD cars, but I guess that would be too much work to reconstruct the tranny. Looking good! Few color combinations can pull off the 'painted dash' look and get away with it - yours is one. And as always, it's a Mondy hatchback, so ...

I think I want your trip computer But yes, I want to do that to mine also (since the previous owner painted it all white...) Originally posted by 99SVT: What does that little dealy above the climate controls do? Anything besides tell time? That's the trip computer people have been talking about (like I just did)... I'm going to attempt to put one in my SVT when I get to Germany. Do y'all see the radio remote control stalk on the column under the turn signals? What about the hieght-adjustable headlight switch to the left of the main headlight switch? More things we never saw... Adj. headlights are amusing for a couple minutes at least.

Fifth gear wouldn't jab RHD drivers in the leg any more than 1st gear would be in LHD cars ... Granted, it is your clutch leg in RHD, but not that big a difference.

Originally posted by 98 SE: You'd think they would make the gearshift symmetrical to LHD cars, but I guess that would be too much work to reconstruct the tranny. so does that mean that trans on cars that built for England only 1st gear is next to the leg? while cars that are global platform 5th gear is near the leg?
