was in at thames today, he said he recently sold a balck A500 with BLACK stripes

I thought about this, has been mentioned here before.  Would've had it too if it weren't for the heritage of campovolo.  I'd be very interested in seeing one.

Slight change. Car is in the UK  :thumb: pdi and fitting of Koni's and Monza to do. Then got to sort out the pickup. Can't sleep as thoughts of striping and bulb replacement keep running through my head ( just had the H1 & H7 phillips xtreme 80% bulbs delivered)
Full Matt black wrap is keeping me awake at night  :-\ do i or dont i?  ???

Hmm matt black wrap, sounds interesting but i would probably give it a whirl as is for the 1st week or so and then decide. I think the idea is pretty cool, i had a matt black Ducati a while ago, but i'm not sure it works quite as well on cars..

I am considering the light upgrade and also the fsd's but the exhaust i am relatively pleased wth the burble of the standard one. However i've not heard a mona in "real life" so i could be tempted..

So sounds like you will be getting it sooner rather than later then bonus!!

I agree. Thats why i am staying all black to start. Then its a toss up but i think that i will go AC stripe kit first and then will see. There are just too many things to buy  :whistle:
Having not had standard shocks or exhaust i wanted to dive in with the full experience. Thats why i have been on the forum. Tips and advice from Abarthisti is invaluable when deciding. I would never buy a "specialist" car without using the experience of diehard fans first - so thanks to you all.  :thumb:

Ha  ;D
Do like the idea of matt black stripes on a black car. Not considered that before. Either that or orange  :whistle:
Mmm stealth or "out there"  ??? Decisions...

Did think about it ;D but havnt got an extra £1500 on top of the cost of a new car. Might just have to be the stripes!!
