That would be Stormy Blue Mica, not just blue. And with out seeing the inside it's hard to say for sure if it's a sport, touring, or grand touring.

are you sure this isnt just a way for you to find out what model/trim you bought without actually asking us??? mainly because you'd be called a noob etc etc.??

It's a stormy blue Sport model. Only the sport model lacks a sunroof.

Looks like you got the foglight option, but not the appearance package. Probably lacks nav.

I was almost going to say it was used as well because of the clear corners, but the euro plate/Right hand drive leads me to believe otherwise.

touring. it's got fogs. maybe a sport with fogs added.

nice car though. your paint looks great. i have the same color, and i'm bothered by some light swirls that came with it courtesy of the dealer courtesy wash. thanks dealer.

5-speed? I knew there was initially a 5-speed for 2004 in other countries, but thought that was dropped.

Leather /heated seats means it is GT normally, but GT also got the moonroof, which you don't have. I am thinking the previous owner did a bit of swapping.

Welcome to the club, guessing a 6MT by wheels alone, full leather.. heated seats?

Lucky bastard to get the clear corners standard though.

Congratz on the purchase, hope you enjoy your ride! Looks cleaaan.
