Yes, the pretty strange colour combinations put me off:-

a) Officina red with grey top - why not a black top?
b) Gara white with grey top - why not a black top?
c) Record grey - wrong style of the 17" spokes and wrong colour of the 17" petals.
d) Campo grey - wrong colour of the 17" alloys in both styles.
e) Bi-colour grey - didn't appeal to me much.

There was no Crossover black for the C. If they offered it with black top and black leather, I would have ordered this.

I believe in perfection.

My standard Abarth attire for the 500C - colour co-ordination being a critical factor, picture courtesy of DanDeyong. :thumb:

Nice one ed. :thumb:

Mind me asking did you lose much on trading your 500c for another exactly the same?

Congratulations Ed  :thumb:

Having now owned both manual and auto with flaps, how do they compare?

And I've always wondered what colour is on the V5?!

I suggest you ask Abarth! I'm not too worried about it; it would look strange were it a full convertible with frameless doors and no roll bar. It would look like a upmarket pram with its two tone paintwork!!

Thinking that I should get darker tinted front windows.
