We had a Tropicalia Sport delivered today. Not sure what interior it has I'll check tomorrow. And upload pics if it's the same.

Re: Sport upholstery grey-brown/black

Got an orange lounge in my showroom- not really imressed with the colour, looks more copper/brown to me. Looked slightly better in sunlight though.

I prefer the car in light colours, really like it in bossa nova white- very retro!!

Yes I saw the standard sport trim in both a red and yellow car and thought it looked great. We were going to order leather before seeing it and decided to go with the standard sport trim as it looked and felt great.

Obviously a preference thing but I think it works just like the GTI retro seat works. Leather looks good in a GTI but the check seats look better IMHO.

Cheers

Re: Sport upholstery grey-brown/black

London showroom is open but only had a red one and a white one when I walked by it on Friday and only a red on Saturday night. Loads of space in the showroom though so I'd expect they'll get some more in there soon.

Re: Sport upholstery grey-brown/black

I have seen red, white and cha cha azure.


I really like the white, the cha cha azure is also quite smart. Red is OK but the 500 doesn't stand out from the crowd so much in red as many small cars are red these days.

I could looks quite nice with Jive Blue If I was to order another 500 a yellow sport with the brown interior would be the one. I think it would look gorgeous.

Anyway, here are some photos of the brown Sport interior
