I love the interior of the British - spec 350Z so much better than the US-spec's. The different color matching accents really lighten up and blend the interior IMHO.

They have stereo control on the steering, the little white thingy below the "z" logo (what is that?) & different nav system.

It seems like there is also a sprinkler for the license plate...now they have gone too far. WTF?

I love that burnt orange interior. Better than the U.S. version.

Its not a reverse light. All European cars are to fitted with a red fog light for the rear of the vehicle.

Believe me, you do need them, especially in London when it gets foggy. Those rear fog lights do wonders in the fog.

When I bought my 94 Mazda Protege (tax-free btw) (don't ask, I was poor back then, still am, come to think of it, lol) new and picked it up in Rotterdam, I had to put in an aftermarket fog lamp for the rear in order for me to register it.

The white emblem is a turn signal. I believe all European cars have to have a blinker by the fender well.

When I was in Belgium for 3 years, most of the cars had those.

Looks beautiful! The steering wheel and e brake handle really look great with the burnt orange accents. I would love to get those for my car when it comes.

A red fog light, interesting. I didn't know red cuts through the fog better than other colors. It's so the car behind can see you correct? Interesting how the same model car gets changed for different countries. Thanks!
