we had a 500 estate years ago, the colour was very similar to Calypso,
nice retro colour, only seen one around where we live, looks brill

we had an old 500 in the same colour, that's why we were so keen to get it again on the new one!

Posted these last year but for the Ye Ye fans here is my mum's car which is based upon the spec of a show car that was on Fiat's stand at the Geneva show last year and got lots of crowd attention. I think it's a great colour that really suits the retro nature of the 500.
Ye Ye Green like the example above looks stunning. I think Fiat have lost the plot with the colours on the 500. Theyre all gonna end up white and red & the depreciation will be more severe on those colours as a result.
Id hoped the parents were gonna buy a 500 but now the colour choice is so plain i think im gonna encourage them to buy from a different manufacturer coz we dont want somethin that looks just like thousands of others.
If youre watching Fiat, take note!

They have had a ye ye green pop with white stripes and I think black leather in stoneacres in Worksop since I bought mine in December last year... that may have been the one on autotrader, but the link doesnt work anymore so I cant check. I'm sure they would be very happy if someone bought it!
I think the majority of early adopters went for BN white as it is kind of a classic looking colour, and also it was the one featured in most of the advertising. This prob made fiat lose confidence in the other less popular colours and so deleted them. Now however, as the 500 gains wider appeal, people are looking for a better range of colours but theyve all gone! It is a shame.
Going OT for a mo, did anyone see a place in the country on C4 last night? The woman presenter was in Tuscany walking down a cobbled street, and there was an old dark blue (or black) original 500 giardinera in the background! I kept trying to point it out to the wife (who was singularly unmoved by the experience) and shouting at the woman to get out the way so I could see it better! Maybe if Fiat do resurrect the Giardinera version with the new 500, we may get some more imaginitive colours again. An estate version in Ye Ye with roof bars would look good IMO.

Great pictures, that interior is superb. Ye Ye was my first choice when I ordered recently but sadly no longer available. I've gone for the other green, by Diesel instead.
There's a Ye Ye green that drives past my work on a morning and having a good swoon at it is my daily treat to myself.
Note to self: Get out more.

I have to agree. I saw a green one in town last summer and thought it the loveliest of 500s. And I too don't like green cars!
C'mon Fiat. White, Cha-Cha and red are all I see. Occasionally a yellow (too acid) and very very rarely a NO blue (not really, on a 500). And two ordinary greys??? Oh, and the odd black, and I don't think this suits any small cars frankly, and certainly not the 500 IMHO.
Punk Grey, with chrome, is very smart too in daylight, and lamplight, and that too has gone.
As I said, c'mon Fiat!!

This is a very interesting thread. I've spent many an hour kicking myself for missing the opportunity of buying either a Punk Grey or Ye Ye Green 500 when I originally purchased my 500 Pop.
Reason being that at the time it was what I could afford. I had clear intentions, however, to always replace my current 500 with a Lounge in either one of those colours.
Now that they've gone I just can't seem to settle on any specific colour. Cha Cha Cha looks so different in so many pictures that I like it one minute and detest it the next. BN White does make the 500 look the business, but like already said its everywhere and makes it seem like you're driving nothing more that a red Ford Fiesta whenever you pass another 500 adorning the same colour choice.
Whatever happens my 500 will be going either next month or in July to help fund a house purchase. My next is to be on 36 month, low deposit finance. Thing is, like others on here, I'm hard pushed to decide on a colour. Oh, and I just can't seem to justify £700 for Funk White, no matter how beautiful it looks.

Thanks Whitefiat - but have had a look on their website and it's not there? Just a red one I think...?
Is this some sort of genetically melded version of me (nottsfiat07) and white_500 as we both mentioned this car!
Funny as we only live a few miles apart!I would call the actual dealer if I were you, don't depend on the website! IIRC its a pop but with white side stripes, black leather and black ambience, so it doesn't have blue and me or alloys. The phone number of the Worksop branch is 01909 880014.

good luck with it... if you go and look, mention that I told you about it... if you say I'm the bloke who bought a 500 just before xmas and had Ian the salesman's father in law hit it while it was on the forecourt, I'm sure they will remember me!
Oh and try and get something off it, they've had it so long its probably taken root!

Commanding a price for it?! Where on earth are they trying to sell that?!! What a shame though (although I wouldn't have gone with the black stripes on it...)
