I've liked the grey the best since I first saw pics of different colour options. Unfortunately I won't be able to see that colour in real life before I order mine since Abarth is not imported to Finland and that colour is not available to regular 500's. Hopefully it looks good also in the real life even though it's a pastel colour.
The funk white is also a stunning looking colour but I feel that the grey is closest to traditional Abarth colours. However I'm not very happy with the available colour options. Few more colours would have been nice. I would take 500A in baby blue if it would be possible.

I went for white in the end. I am glad I did as I saw one with Titanium today as well at the dealer and the white looks leagues better

That's quite unusual. I like it. I've gone for white with titanium esseesse wheels, and some 5 petals as well, because I like those ones too (couldn't make my mind up).

Looks good 903cc, having seen Hozepipe's car and yours the white wheels look the best with the grey & red. Although the titanium might look better with black stripes.

Good to hear that you finally got your car esseesse'd.
I have done the opposite to you since I've ordered my grey/red stripes 500A with the titanium wheels even though I originally planned to order white wheels. So far I've seen only one small pic of a grey/red car with titanium wheels so I'm not 100% sure if that is the right choice for me.

The EsseEsse is something amazing. After doing 2500 Kms in a regualr Abarth you cannot believe the difference. The car runs harder and faster. It corners flatter and, I do not believe it but, is like a completely different car.
I cannot wait to get to Nurburg to try her on the track compared to the standard. The upgrade really transforms the car.
And I am so happy with the way it looks. I saw a grey with Titanium with red trim when I was collecting mine, and I am personally happy with the choice I made.
I have the box of excess bits in my hallway now and my wife is not that happy. But has agreed it could turn out to be good Garage Decoration!!

As an aside, does anyone know what happened to the option of having the script 'esseesse' on the back of the door mirrors? |

I am a little surprised with what is missing in the kit though. Adverstised Pirelli PZero Nero tyres. Delivered on Michelin Pilot e - something. No Key ring cover.
Mate of mine at work got his essessed the day after and same spec.

I wouldn't be happy with that. I'd want exactly what was specced. I guess tyres aren't so bad as they are an alternative, but to not even provide key cover is not good.
