Ahh I'm picking up my beaut 500 tomorrow! Actually cannot wait!!! How will I get through a whole days work with the excitement! So it will be 7 weeks tomorrow exactly that the order was placed and the car arrived on Friday! Ordered mats and a key cover yday so it's gonna look amaze! Promise to post pics! Just for now, I want to say thanks to everyone that posts on here because you have all been so helpful and got me through each day I've waited to get this! Can't wait to be a bonafide owner of a 500 and not just a wannabe one!

I'm so glad you didn't have to wait the expected 12 weeks.

It must be like having an extra birthday. Enjoy the handover experience.

Wow, so difficult to upload pics using your iPad! Haha! Well, what can I say? When I picked up the car yesterday I really thought I was dreaming! The car I designed and mulled over for months is finally here. Just spent my breakfast just watching it sit on the drive. Dualogic has made driving for me, ten times easier! Set it to automatic and away you go. I'm so excited that I'm now an owner of a fiat 500! Beaut beaut beaut!

Hi - lovely car, I like the combo of Volare with Tan leather. I'm glad we specced the leather seats too now as they are much more supportive / comfortable than the cloth seats in our old lounge.

Enjoy and don't forget to wave!

Looking good. Congratulations. Well worth the wait. Glad you are a fan of the Dualogic it surprised me how well it performs. Just be careful on roll back. It doesn't hold like a true automatic, so still need the handbrake in certain circumstances.

OK I will go out on a limb here and say that I am not a fan of the tan leather at the best of times, but in a Volare Blue car with the grey plastics and ivory trim it looks like a right dog's dinner.

However, that may just mean I have really bad taste. Hope you are pleased with it.

Thanks for posting the photos. I really like the 500 in volare with the tan interior and the old sport wheels. A very nice combo.

My wife went for a Lounge in electroclash grey and red leather. That's nice too but if it was me I would have chosen volare with tan leather.

Lovely, I like the different side moulding badges. You can buy different ones on ebay for £10 so when you fancy a change.
All you need is the T-Shirt now

Ooh, I forgot you specced the same colour combo as I have Hope you love it

Congratulations on the new motor missfiat500.
Another member on here when for the same combination of the tan and the Volare Blue which is very nice. Good to see a set of Sport wheels on the car. Happy motoring.

I have to say that I agree. But if the OP is happy with it then that's all that matters

It's called "fashion" and "style" - that 500 has it, mine doesn't mine has the shades of grey you'd expect in any small car...
