My 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7 V6 4WD
4 speed AT with sports mode. Came fully loaded with sunroof, dual SRS-Airbag, leather seat, Auto Air conditioning, leather wrapped steering wheel, cargo net, tonneau cover, door tweeter.
From all factory colour back in 2002, this combo is the best. Pine Green with Cool Gray metallic finish (RX) with Brown interior.
I got it back in 2005.It only has 19.000kms on the odometer. The condition was not so good. It has been parked in parking lot for a long time. The paint was very dull because of the weather abuse. Original remote control for door lock /anti theft system/ alarm also missing. The tyres also worn on inside.
The first thing to do is to restore the paint. After detailing, the finish is brought back to original lustre. Then I replace the tyres with Pirelli Scorpion AT. Still same size (225/70 R-16). Then I replace the head unit with DVD & TV Capability.
Future plan is replacing the wheels with 18" and wider tyres, replace front seats with Recaro and rear seat with cloth one.
