Help please ![]() ![]() ![]() A few ideas... Chrome Bonnet line An example here Italian badge on front wing Chrome number plate surround Example here on the first picture. Valve caps Interior wise there are gaiters with the italian colours and these are not too difficult to fit.

I'm afraid that if you want your car to be different/unique/stand out from the crowd and you bought a white Fiat 500, then you bought the wrong car. Personally I would just revel in the cameraderie of kindred spirits, all driving our white 500s. Heck, some will even wave at you as you pass them, witbh a little encouragement. You can then rest secure in the knowledge of your inherent good taste.

![]() | Re: Luigi! I drive a metallic blue 500 devoid of chrome. I haven't seen another 500 of any type for a few weeks now. People around here think it's a Nissan Micra (just this evening, the petrol station cashier said "pump number 6? The little Nissan?") I'm actually quite jealous of white 500s (only ever seen one in NZ) and think they look great dressed up with most of the chrome (but not the A-bar) and thin Italian stripes (green/white/red) under the windows. I think the white 500 is the one to have for retro appeal. I see an expensive and hyper fast modern BMW lurking nearby, plus a true slow old British sportscar (Triumph TR?), so it would seem that all motoring bases are covered ![]() -Alex

Posts: 138 Thanks: 7 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Luigi! Hi Tiffy Rose, I would definitely go for a pair of front Italian flag badges, they're nicely made enamelled metal badges. Have you got side rubbing strips fitted? You can put a variety of different badges on the rear ends of the rubbing strips, including Italian flag 500 script badges. I might think about a (very) few chrome bits here and there too. Whatever, I hope you really enjoy you're lovely little car, as much as we enjoy ours.
