Don't know what you've heard, but weather probably isn't one of them , car is as of today 1 month old, and as it snows here quite a lot ( not this year though, enough for gravel to destroy a little bit of my beauties colour in the front bumper ) So yeah, owning a car here during winter sucks really, cracks in windshield , colour getting chipped off, but at least it gives us reasons to not slack on washing it, otherwise the salt and all the dirt gets to it, and we do need to keep our beauties clean and fresh now don't we ;)
You bet.

A small price to live in a civilized country like Sweden.

Reconsider your civilized, aye in papers it's civilized alright, but you'd be surprised how many tools exist here, especially on the roads... You'll find more tools driving than in a mechanics toolbox...it's pathetic really.

I can't say I blame you. I also want to visit Greece one day. But my top three are Germany, Italy, and Sweden.

in a few more months you can import RS tail lights, they are like those with maybe less clear parts since that is for Gazoo.

In 2007, people were importing RS Tails for the 2nd generation Yaris here.

OMG.. I'm in love with the Japanese white..
sigh I bought a Yaris because the list of possible upgrade seems so little but now I am starting to find very nice things and I'm starting to think about asking for the possibility to install white 17" wheels

Anyway here's The White Lady.. I already show her but I think this is the right place for her photos

She's a 1.3 (99HP) 6speed in style version (the sportiest set up) + the comfort pack plus and the navigation system.
She's very young, about 1200 Miles
In fittings means:
- lots of abags
- traction control and other controls
- 16" alloy wheels (titanium coloured)
- 4 Disk Brake
- rear spoiler
- panoramic glass roof
- black rear windows
- sport shaped steering wheels in leather with multi control
- mixed leather and fabric (i use translator for this word) interior (seats and knobs) with lovely red seams (stitching)
- toyota touch and go (navi, usb, bluetooth etc)
- retro camera
- bi-zone automatic clima

I think that's all....... speaking about original stuff then I'm moving to install something to design my real car

Till now I've instelled LED bulb instead of standard bulbs everywhere but I want to increase the number of lights inside the little toy 'cause IMHO it's very dark in some side.

I've also bought the armrest fitted for this car but I have not yet installed it..
Next project.. some plastidipping XD

Here's some picture







the picture of the armrest are so big so I just link them

Such a sexy little car. If they offered the 3-door here, with sporty options included (alloys, spoiler, leather seats, etc.)--I would have gladly paid a few grand more for my car.

Yours is so sharp. Very nice.

German Yaris

Hi there, this is Pete. I am introducing myself as well as my current ride,
I am an experienced Yaris Owner, which, according to P.J O'Rourke, means I already wrecked one. The car is pretty much stock besides a cheap aftermarket radio and good year all season tyres











Prior to the Yaris I was driving a citybug aka Toyota Yaris, which is even smaller - believe it or not.
Couple years ago I decided to seriously downsize with regard to cars. Bye LandCruiser welcome fuel efficiency.

Yep. Hub caps do get stolen in Germany. I also tend to loose them when driving on sidewalks chasing people
