With tinted windows and tail lights ... also the interior dashbaord light turned to blue leds but the pics I took from my cellphone look so poor. So until there's a camera upgrade to at least 3.2 mpixels, patience dear friends

Looks almost identical to my outie :) except for the tinted tail lights; I still love the transparant look with silver side finish of the tail lights!
Which trim and engine do you have? Looks like the "sport" or "comfort 4WD" trim.
good to see a European on the forum ;) I've seen in the Acropolis rally that you have some magnificent dirttracks and other sandy and rocky roads in Greece. Do you go driving offroad in that area sometimes?

As for the Acropolis rally, it is located approx.550 kms from where I live, so you could say it is quite far from me ... still, I think this kind of off road activities are easy to find anywhere ( spare time on the other hand is a luxury quite not so easy for me to find ..
)
My Outie is a " Sun and sound " edition with leather steering wheel , gear knob and handbrake, double sunroof of course, white gauges and so on + 2000cc engine with manual transmission.
I bought it from a dealership last summer with 45000 kms on and I'm really satisfied with my purchase. It has proved to be the right car for me and my needs at work and family.
Still, hand itching all the time, I will have some upgrades to make my Outie much more "me"
Keep you posted ...

Unfortunately the double sunroof wasn't included on the Sport edition for 2004... but I've also got the nice leather steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake.. the interiour seems exactly the same. I've never actually driven the 2.0l without turbo.. would be nice to compare to the 2.4 mivec. I've read the 2.0l does also very nice in the higher RPM's!
As for rally tracks, they are extremely rare over here, since belgium is so densely populated. there are some tracks in the hills, but very few open tracks like in southern countries.
I think an 4WD outie would be great to drive on these tracks where the Acropolis rally goes through.. not with the same speed of course :)
I really like the OEM looks of the outie, I'm only trying to get the lower front bumper grill (official accessory, chrome colour). I'm also probably going to try out a HKS super hybrid drop-in air filter or similar when the stock one needs replacement, and see if it makes any difference :)

PLEASEEEEEEE!!!
Tell me how you replaced your dash lights with Blue LED? I am dying to do this, but simply haven't been game enough to try to take the dash out yet!
As you may notice - I have a penchant for LED's!
Also, how did you tint your tail-lights? From inside or on the outside?
