In both cases front bodywork is different from European version eg /vehicle_279233-Ford-Fiesta-2008.html - size and shape of lower vent, position of number plate bar in the vent, apertures for minor lights, upper slit grille is self-contained moulding on US but an indented slit between the bonnet edge and the bumper moulding on European. So similar looking but a different set of components. -- Last edit: 2011-04-12 18:17:11

"I spent about two years trying to make it look like I did nothing," George said. The North American front fascia includes LED parking lamps, used in a few other markets. Link to "en.wikipedia.org"
