Not to rain on your parade, but there is a bit more to installing the Ralliart console for RHD into a LHD car. The base or lower part of the console will also need to be modified (read cut) to get it to accept the ashtray on the right side of the car.
If you lift up the console you'll notice that there are platics pieces that stick up on the right where you would need to place the ashtray for the Ralliart console.
Bump for some nice Ralliart parts.

Thanks for the update though
I also added an additional portion to my last post regarding the issues while installing this part.
I have heard from other people stating that this part is difficult to install, but with some minor fabrication they were able to have it mount flush with no gaps.

I tried and tried to get it to work a few months back because of how good the piece looks. Even if you get the surface flush enough to mount the console you'll still have issues. Take a look at a RHD center console cover next to a LHD center console cover. Neither outline is asymmetrical. One piece is slightly more skewed to the right and the other is slightly more skewed to the left. The console base is not flexible enough to offset the difference. Imperfections pop up everywhere and it ends up looking sloppy and amateurish even thouhg it's OEM...technically. Bottom line is it won't fit properly. Gruppe-S refunded me the money and updated the product description from a similar thread to this one.
