as twisty said, flip the ford badge. it rotates ;) you'll have to turn the key both ways to release the bonnet. also note that the bonnet doesn't automatically stay up, you'll need to use the little pole. hope that helps

Yep, I really think its a cost cutting measure, also to stop NVH getting into the car (similar reason for the accelerator being drive by wire)
