If its the Matt Black treatment, I think it will look really good with the matt silver look.

Cant wait.

Not so sure about the white painted tyres though

hey guys, what a great looking motor - what size are the wheels, and can you get those fab chrome rubbing strips on the 'standard' lounge models ?

The wheels are 16inch and the rubbing strips are like that only on the By Diesel models.

Thanks for the info, shame about the chrome strips, will order the Diesel model when I save up for a model change ! -but I think theyare the same wheels I have ordered fro my 1.2 lounge, whats the ride like ?

... and Sharpyboy, the girl in Vospers has bought my handover forward, so getting my little fun car next week on Wednesday 14th !!

The wheels are only on the By Diesel model. The ride is great, it has 45 profile tyres that are good when you go down to 40 profile it gets bumpy.

The ride is only great compared to German cars Compared to a car with decent suspension the ride is shocking!

Just looked at the Fiat website - yes your right, but they look similar to the 16" 5 0 spoke alloys mine should arrive with - please let me know how the drive /ride/ handling feels after youv'e been out on your Sunday Afternoon dirve !
- and roll on next week.!

Lucky you I'm picking mine up next day (15th Oct)

01101001 Just off topic a bit loved your piccies... what camera doe you use? :chin:

Yes, I hope all the paper work is in order, they seem to be in ' 6s and 7s ' down there at the moment, and I keep being pestered by the Fiat '7 day insurance guy' as this has now expired, and I am not putting on cover with my own insurance till I have seen the car and checked everything is OK !

sharpyboy, they were taken with a Nikon D300, i have a few Nikon cameras but its the lens you should be spending your money on.

That and don't waste your money on something with a stupidly high MP count. I've only got a D70s but it'll kick the crap out just about any compact camera no matter how many megapixels it's got.

Ultra-low dispersion glass

All the way....
