Default Left hand drive S2000 from Germany

Hi,

I bought an S2000 from Germany a while ago. Paid 17,300 pounds for a Nov' 2002 with 13,500 miles. Didn't know it'll be such a mess to register it though.

They first wanted me to go through SVA! No need for that apparently cause the car is from Europe.
I need to change the speedometer (my car can't switch the display to read mph, )
I might need to replace the front lights as well... Ouch!

Has anyone here ever had to do this? Any shortcuts?

Cheers,
Raanan

Is the car laft or right hand drive? As its only reading KPH sounds like its a jap import. Does the back bumper hold the square number plates?

AFAIK all have the mph/kph button apart from JDM's, sounds like you have a Jap car to me.

Bit confused about it being LHD though ?!?

JDMs have the button, it just doesn't do anything. We tried RobM's on the way to Le Mans in June.
