Not like that. I suspect your car has a LHD cable fitted?

Your cable is too long.
I can't photo it right now but mine takes a fairly straight, slightly curvy route
from the bulkhead.
Yours even looks too long to be an LHD version, so if it came with the car
those Seffricans fitted what they could find.

You may be able to have one made up by a specialist.
