Italian Flag Roof Stripe

Looking forward to finalising the spec of our 500, but has anyone seen what the Italian roof stripe looks like?

We're going for the Passo-Red option on a Sport and quite fancied the idea of the Italian flag, but not sure if the red of the stripe would either disappear or clash horribly with the red of the car. Any ideas?

Nice choice! I quite like the Italia roof stripe. I've not got any photos of a Pasedoble Red 500 with the Italia stripe, but here's a few of a white one Hope that helps!

Thanks for the pictures! It gives a much better idea of the stripe than on the paper "wheel of fortune" our dealer provided to show all the different stripes and stickers. I hadn't realised it was so broad a stripe.

Still not sure what the red would look like, but perhaps if no-one has ever seen it, it means it might not look too good? Or perhaps it would just mean we had a unique car.

Anyway thanks for responding so quick.... we were hoping to finalise our purchase tomorrow.

Suasexed is great with the pictures....saved me alot when deciding on leather

Also a few other different colours with the Italia stripe

Heheh! Look what I just found It was hiding in my photo collection

o yeah that clashes big time....How do u do it Suasexed How? So bloody quick! Boris that should decide it for u!!!!

I really want to get one of those for my cinq

I drove the 1.4 16v 500 last weekend and i have to say i was very impressed
enjoy your new car!

That's brilliant Suasexed - thanks so much...

I think you might have saved us from making a mistake. I'm thinking the red of the stripe doesn't really set off the red of the car and I really do want a red Sport. I think we'll go for the understated look and give the stickers a miss.

Perhaps we'll look at the A frame instead (we're having the chrome kit).

Just sooo many choices to make!!

Thats why i love these forums....good people with sound advice

dude check out this thread for interiors:

Whatever you do don'y buy a 1.2 in Jive blue with....

Blue & Me
Blue & Ivory seats
Ivory leather steering wheel
Rear headrests
Ivoey edged mats
Fragrence dispenser
iPod holder
Chrome "A" Bar
Chrome kit
Chrome bonnet line
Side rubbing strips with chrome 500 badge
433 Alloys
Italian wing badges

As that would look awfull........

Yes, thanks, it's a great thread - seeing "real life" pictures really helps.

We're sticking with the grey/black standard interior, rather than going for leather - the budget won't quite stretch to that.

No problem matey I agree, not sure about the Italia roof stripe. It definitely clashes with the red paintwork. Here are a few different styles of stripes you could have including a custom chequred roof/bonnet stripe

I really like the Italian roof strip on the red car! Reminds me of Ferrari F360 Challange Stradale.
