Hi guys

As many people on here I've been in the dark with many of the 500c's specs and as Fiat seem to be very much in love with the 'C' in red and white pictures of any other colours haven't really been forthcoming. However, after much searching I've managed to find a review of a 'C' in Tech House grey.

Rather pleased I didn't go for the red roof - a tad too red for me. Very pleased with the grey though and those wheels

mm, Tech House Grey has more than a touch of Jive Blue about it.....

Indeed - which is no bad thing

Steve

that looks nicer than I expected...not sure about the bright red roof though...I have ordered the funk white with the red roof and was under the impression that the roof was a maroon kind of red...but that looks bright red...not as keen now

Thats the colour that was shown at the motorshow... theres a thread with pics of it somewhere. Anyway, I just stumbled across this pic which maybe of interest for anybody who can't decide what 500c to have... I love the browny metallic one with the ivory roof.

Heres the motorshow pic

Excellent! Where did you find that pic? The one on the bottom right is Tech House and I've been umming and arghing whether or not to change the roof from ivory to black. That's the problem with having to wait for a car to be built, you have plenty of time to change your mind.

However, like you say the Electroclash Grey car does look great with the ivory roof - I think I'll stick with my original spec

I think the red roof on the picture above is probably more representative of the real colour... the one on the german pic looks like the colour balance is way off, its almost glowing!

Its from this link: http://www.newcarnet.co.uk/gallery....89&gallery_sku=136&page=1&section=interactive lots of 500c launch pics but a few too many red ones shown.

So What colour is that Grey / brown one? And that creamy looking white next too it? They both look great...........!

That is exactly the combination I'd want on one. It looks superb.

I'd put my money on that pic being taken with a Nikon, my D70s likes to overemphasise reds. See red leather below for what I mean!

My D50 does the same, it's something to do with the Nikon colour profiling. I tried to take a photo of a Poppy and it went mad!

Mine does the opposite, makes reds look more pink, see below

Just noticed on the Fiat configurator for the 500C, plenty of nice girly tacky stickers to add to the side/tailgate including (god knows why) Tokyo? London? Paris? Turin/Rome are more understandable! I'm slowly growing a dislike to the 500C now!

Its simply Electroclash grey with the ivory roof. Strange really as most people thought Electroclash was pants on the 500 and made it look like a Micra

Funny what an ivory ragtop can do eh?
