Default US S2000 in London

I saw a red S2000 - US spec - in London yesterday evening!!
First thing I noticed was the shape of the hole for the plate in the back bumper. I thought 'japan import'. Then I saw normal alloys, so I had to check the indicators - and they were amber. Couldn't stop to check it out better because I was being driven in an old beetle with german plates, and the cabbie behind us started to get angry at us for slowing down (and being german ).
It had Uk plates though.

I guess the location of the steering wheel may give some clue between US and Japanese spec

to avoid confusion on JDM/US spec.

5 spoke is standard JDM, 6 spoke BBS is a 200,000Yen extra.
