Still chuffed with my 500C after 16 months and a real pleasure to drive

BUT

One thing that really bugs me is the joke gear change paddles, they look like something from a child's toy box.
Not in keeping with the design of the car.

A nice pair of polished aluminium paddles would look superb.

Come on Abarth, you are missing a trick here.
Aluminium petrol and oil caps, brake/clutch/throttle pedals, gear knobs, door step covers and mirror covers are available as genuine accessories but no paddles, Shame
