Here are a couple more differences for those people with nothing better to do than drool over that lovely orange colour!

The tweeter grille has a circular feature within in - the UK one is plain:

The rear numberplate recess is deeper than UK cars (to accommodate US numberplates:

Just to keep the interest going on the copy QQ in the US, prices have just been released on the Rogue Sport and the Top of the Range Rogue Sport SL AWD is priced at only $27,420 (£21,361) funny money or what ! - Dave ;)

There will be sales tax on top of that though. And there's a delivery charge of $960 too.

Guys, If you fancy a different colour, then check out https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=car+w ... 21&bih=846

And when its time to sell you can just peal it off :)

Daewar, this is a nice method of customizing your car color wise or for protection. I took a look at this last year in the US at a couple of Car shows. When done correctly it looks first class, but as you mentioned at the end of the day you just peel it off which I suppose is like throwing money away, but it is different. Here is a website which will give you a rough idea of the costs involved, a medium car / van is £1600 > £4000 - Dave :)

I have seen videos on youtube. If you have the time, skills and patience, it could be quite affordable. Could do a panel at a time. At least with my QQ, most of the roof would not need doing :)

Daewar, I am pretty handy with my hands but I just do not think I would have the patience to attempt this. After looking at this video there definitely is a skill to applying this stuff and making it look good.
I found also this 3M writeup which is interesting - Dave :)
