For those who are new to the Forum, RP:

The AUTOart model is extremely accurate to the US-spec, but I found one very tiny clue that the model design began as a RHD version. Did anyone who has the model notice this little exception?

Nothing in it from Rick?

Airbag warning stickers?

Slice in Carpet?

Can't open secret compartment?

I give up. I don't have one so it makes it a bit harder to guess.

H-GAL...just like on the big-un,open the drivers door and look at the switchplate on the armrest;=short.then open the passengers door;switchplate is long to accommodate the mirror switch....[.it's easier with a red interior]the japanese homemarket cars are rhd thus drivers armrest controls are on the right......reason for the oversight??? good question....most likely it would mean a new pair of inner door panel molds and someone decided the cost prevailed over the small probability anyone would notice .but we noticed!!!!!

I think a scathing letter to the manufacturer is in order ! Think of the safety issues of having to reach all the way over to the other side of the car just to adjust the mirrors!
