Ordering R8 from Europe w/ Rt-hand Side Drive

I was going to contact the dealer but thought i would post this question to see who has knowledge in this area.
Any ideas on cost, shipping, etc ?

Cheers,
G

Pipper6speed is infamous around these parts
I don't see why you couldn't just buy right hand drive from a UK dealer and export it. No idea on the taxes and duties though. You also may get shafted with currency exchange rates.

A couple other things if you go that route:

1. Nav won't work as far as I know.
2. Will need to change the safety things (bumper with side-markers etc.)
3. Will be impossible to sell in a left hand drive country, but you no doubt know that already.

Btw, you in Shanghai now? Flying back there tomorrow.
