General Saw my car disappointed
No you don't. The BNW looks way better than the Black, unless you spice it up like RobW's
Of course I will say that BNW is nicer than black but the fact that ~60% of 500's sell in BNW says something
I wish I'd done some things differently with my car but overall I'm happy with it.
black shows up bird poo more, you have made right choice

The problem is you have to choose only one. I'd like black, grey or yellow.
Better to get bird poo off quickly anyway whatever the colour. It eats it's way into the lacquer really quickly. I think you can always say I wish I'd got whatever colour.

yes it says BNW is the only colour that's 'free'
500 is a car that people spend a fair whack on for a small car and if people want options like different wheels, leather a colour they will almost always have the money to pay for it.yes it says BNW is the only colour that's 'free'
Hey, don't be disappointed, I think overall white is a better colour for the car, though black looks good too.
White is much safer to drive visibility wise and come the summer its going to look and feel much cooler!

yea dont worry about it - i sometimes think i should have gone for the black for my abarth instead of bossa nova but i know if i had done that i would probably have then wanted the white!
white looks great, though is a pig to keep clean!

thanks for all the positive affirmations, I am really rueing the fact I don't have crossover black (and I swore I would never have black again after my last encounter with one, when every scratch showed up!)
I hope the guy with the black car and me don't pick up our cars together otherwise I am going to ask him to swap.
I am however, looking forward to my o-star alloys

Right choice!
The 500 is BNW - any other colour and it's not a 500

No it isn't. Jive Blue was 'free' at launch, and now Rock 'n' Roll Blue is available 'free'.
Black is great... all my cars are black
However...
- Stone chips
- Scratches
- Bird Poo Etchings
- Brown dust settling all over it after 10 seconds from washing it
- Holograms after waxing it
But... when you get it right, and its clean... WOW :worship:

Rock 'n' Roll Blue was £260 extra when I order mine, still is according to the configurator
That's an error with the Configurator then, as it's listed as a Pastel Paint (the same as Bossa Nova White) on the ordering system...

how odd
just been playing with the colours (even though I've ordered Pasadoble red) and I noticed the alternative red was £700
That's because it's pearlescenthow odd
Thanks for all the comments all.
I have been musing over this all weekend - I remembered why I went for the white - as then there would be a theme to the white ring on the speedo, white checked seats and then flow onto the dash. Also it highlights the glass roof.
However, despite all this I still now wish I had got the black:bang:

I wouldn't worry
Sure there's a lot of choice but IMHO there are very few bad colours for the 500 and neither white nor black are bad.
I think the 500 looks good in every colour - it looks a little different in each colour too.
Once you've got your car and you get some admiring looks, you'll forget all about the 'dark side'!!
