Styling White or black ambience?

[emmyw]

Hi everyone - great news.....my Fiat 500 is ready for delivery today. So excited - dont know how I'm going to get through a full days work!!

I've ordered the black ambience for my 1.4 Bossa Nova but wondered what ambience everyone else is ordering, and those that have already received their Fiat 500's - what do you think of the choice of ambience you've gone for?

When did you place the order, out of interest?
My 1.2 Bossa Nova is ordered with black and white checked seats and ivory ambiance - hope it's going to look ok, though more worried about my head rubbing against the elec sunroof.

Ivory all the way, uber classy.

In black I think it looks like any other car.

We ordered the ivory ambience with black checks for our Bossa Nova, Looks great, but black is nice also

I decided on the black as I thought being a girl the wheel would get grubby with fake tan/make up etc!! I do agree that the white looks great tho - was just trying to be practical ;-)

paulmc - I ordered it just 10 days ago, it was the basic spec and I was lucky that one had just arrived into the country. I tried to order one a few weeks ago with Mangoletsi in Cheshire but they messed me around far too much - told me it was ordered, took my deposit, then 3 days later admitted they hadnt ordered it and they couldnt get another availble for months!!

You made a good choice! Mine is Bosa Nova with black.

It depends on the colour of the car too, as it has to compliment the body coloured dash. I love the ivory - great styling by Fiat. . but not personally not with the bright white of the dash. . and also thought it may get grubby.

You will be happy!! Keep us posted

I originally thought black as I'm an engineer & didn't fancy an Ivory wheel with black handprints.

However my heart ruled my head & I have the perfect solution......white leather driving gloves ([alan partridge mode on] back of the net [alan partridge mode off]) when my hands are grubby.

Well I only have half an hour until I pick him up (yes he is a he and his name is Alfonso!) so I'll let you all know how fab the drive home is :slayer:

White for definate... it wont get that dirty if you wipe it regularly. It just looks so nice, like the originals with the white steering wheel.

Original had a white bakelite sort of wheel though so it doesn't get dirty. I think purely for that reason I would go for black as even if you keep your hands fairly clean it's still going to get pretty dirty over the years.

Scotchguard and you wont have a problem.

Ivory ambience every time, the black makes the car look like many others whereas the ivory takes it into a different league.

I think there are 2 ways to go with your 500 -
sporty looking, red,black etc, with leather, spoiler, alloys etc, or,
retro looking, white paint, ivory ambiance, steel wheels or standard alloys.
For me the latter is the winner, as that seems the whole point of the car, hoping the big sunroof will be like the canvas original.
Have seen some great looking sporty ones though.
