I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to order a 1.2 lounge but I don't know what colour. I thought I wanted the Funk White until I saw one in london at the weekend in Ye Ye Green and now i'm sold on that too. BUT what leather interior would go best with the Ye Ye Green? For the Funk White I was going to choose red/ivory leather but what about the green one?????

Help please, I only have til 10.30am to decide - husband says I should have FUnk White but it's going to be bad enough waiting 2-3 months, let alone at least 6 months!

HELP!!!!!

The vintage tan leather is gorgeous and will suit the ye ye perfectly. I think red would also go well, but might be a tad bright, go for the tan as it looks awesome, Ive ordered one with tan and saw it today with funk, I wouldnt like to say as Ive not seen one in the flesh, but ye ye looks very nice.

i also think tan would go best with the yeah yeah, avoid the stripes or any form of stickers as well.
get the full chrome kit with a bar and bonnet strip instead (just my opinion)
funk white it seems to be a love it or hate it colour and being pearleascent it is a pain to touch up if it gets scratched theres a thread on the forum about funk white.

Funk white looks like those pearlescent nail polish that slightly change shade depending on the angle from which viewed, I personally don't like it as I think it might date pretty badly soon(ish). Ye ye looks really nice in flesh and like previous posters mentioned it will go marvelously with vintage tan, and some chrome too. Just depends what look are you after...

Thanks. Hubbie still thinks the white but I too am worried about getting it scratched (or bumped) and the cost of touching up.

Tan leather - I hadn't thought of that, do you still get the nice white steering wheel though?

Extras: rear parking sensors (?), tinted windows (?), Ipod connector, is that EPS or whatever worth it?

How long is the wait for one that isn't funk white then?????

Ye Ye will look stunning with the vintage tan leather much better than red which I think is a bit garish unless it's in a white or black car. I wouldn't bother with parking sensors or tinted windows but I would get the ESP as I am sure others on here will tell you it's great value and a superb safety feature, you must get the ivory ambience which will set that green off. I wouldn't even contemplate the funk white I don't like it. I think the base enamel colours suit the retro style of the car it's good not to see metallics for a change, hope you make the right choice it's not easy choosing colours is it as I am sure Nuovapanda will tell you

LOL, its a nightmare! You can have the ivory with tan leather, tell the husband hes no taste in colours TBH, youre looking at 3 months at least, best be quick too, Fiats factories shut down for the whole of August every year.

I'll have to look out for nuovopanda as I notice you are in New Milton - I'm in Bournemouth!!!

Cool, what dealer you using?

Yep, go for the YeYe with the tan leather, it'll look great, especially with a splash of chrome. Not many YeYes on the forum, I don't think, so yours'd be more exclusive.

Westover Fiat at Wallisdown. tomorrow! woo hoo!!!! bummer about factories shutting down for august - i'm gutted, going to have to wait longer

You should see my orange car in the showroom, unless they move it out for its trip to Salisbury.

And no trying to put your pram in my cars boot eh

I wasn't taken with the funk white, there was one at the dealer when I collected Bella. I have a Bossa Nova white and it really suits the car.

I like the bright yellow though and possibly would have had that but it would have tipped it over budget.

There's a green one in my work car park. I'm not really that keen on it really. It kind of blends into the background.

So had he!

Sorry, a bit late I know but just spotted this thread. After seeing my 500 my mum decided she had to have one and after I saw the Ye Ye car at the Geneva show I convinced her that was the colour to for so here is her car. It's a mix of retro with a modern touch.

isuk, great looking car. Come to think of it I haven't seen one colour/trim combo on the Fiat 500 that I don't like. What's the car behind, is it an Aston?
