Greetings fellow FIAT Enthusiasts and Owners,
Two weeks ago I collected my brand new FIAT 500 Pop Star - granted it is a personal contract hire car but aside from that, it feels like my car, and I am totally besotted with it.
Without beating about the bush my question is about 'Side Mouldings' . Yes they are classed as an optional accessory these days, and I am old enough to have had cars where side mouldings were a standard part.
So, side mouldings, are they worth it? They are expensive, they need painting, and fitting.
On the flip side, they protect the sides of the car from non car lover's 'flinging' their car doors open and catching the car. Also, my childish side is in love with them, I think they look really cool!
My 'confidants' keep reminding me that I don't actually own the car, so I'd be just wasting money that I won't get back. On the flip side the FIAT dealer is fine with me fitting side mouldings.
So my fellow FIAT People, over to you, are they worth it, or not?
My decision rests on your opinions - no pressure!
My car is not just a machine to get me from A to B it's my obsession.
