Check under the front hood? Should have a label with options, including color code. Should be something like LXXX. i.e.L37W is Midnight Blue Metallic

Looks like the same color as mine - Atlas Grey. It seems to change depending on the lighting. I like it!!!

My guess would also be Atlas Grey Metallic (Color Code:M7X) . You'll know once you get the P-car. The color code is listed on a sticker attached at the bottom of the front hood.

Here's a list of all the available colors for 2004:

Arctic Silver Metallic, Atlas Gray Metallic,
Basalt Black Metallic, Black,
Carmon Red Metallic, Carerra White,
Cobalt Blue Metallic, Dark Teal Metallic,
Forest Green Metallic, Guards Red,
Lapis Blue Metallic, Meridian Metallic,
Midnight Blue Metallic, Orient Red Metallic,
Paint to Customer Sample, Polar Silver Metallic,
Rain Forest Green Metallic, Seal Gray Metallic,
Slate Gray Metallic, Speed Yellow.

So you bought the car not knowing what color it was? Kind of unusual.

Interesting...I've seen some great deals for P-cars on ebay but I have to admit my skepticism. How was your buying experience? And how did you go about getting a PPI? Is the car being delivered to you? Can you please give a follow up once you drive the car?

I'm in the market for a P-car and ebay has given me more "hits" for what I'm looking for.

Thx
