500 Lilac Bettie: Customised Lounge Twin Air

Nice job you've done there. Totally not my taste, but the finish looks very good. Oh, and Lose the rear mudflaps, They spoil it imo.

Completely amazing, Bettie, you really are a v. lucky girl!

Are those seats on the configurator or did you have them custom made?

Now thats a foxy 500!

It's like the opposite of my car.

That car is serious marmite. I can see how some would love it. Goes against my visions of a 500 though.

I bet it was serious money.

Well done for putting your own mark on it and making it individual!
I think the lilac and ivory work very well together and, as someone else has already said, it looks very well done!
How long did the work take and who did it for you? (and, dare I ask, how much did it all cost?)

It looks lovely. Those sparkly seats are great. Can we ask how much extra the seat customisation and heating in them cost?

Although my other half has just commented that in some of the pics your seats look like childish impressions of a *****: "***** seats".

What are those fermented Swedish herrings called? I would argue that it's more like that. some will love, some will want to run a mile to get away from it.

"Nice" car! Very femme.

My man-sense says get some wax on it and some seat covers in there!!

Seat covers? If you paid for your wife to have cosmetic surgery to make her look like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, why the hell would you make her go out with a paper bag over her face?

Thanks guys!

Deeyup- the muddies are an essential where I live in the country. My friend with a 500 recommended them highly as her car always has a filthy bum at all times without!

Snes- the seats were my own design and I provided the material to have them reupholstered.

Sam Davis- she is wearing her protection and the seats being vinyl are just wipe clean! wooha

FloJo- LOL! I see the penises! Haha! That makes it even better!! I think your other half wants some extra attention!

hippycinq- With the exception of the heated lilac/white seats and winter tyres everything else was factory standard from the dealer. It took a couple of months from ordering.

306maxi- Rollmop herring I think its called!

To me this car is simply salted caramel ice cream, the most perfect flavour in the universe. I think its screamingly girlie whilst keeping its class with fairly subtle colours. I think "stepping to the otherside" would be this car in hot pink with a "Charmaine loves Gaz" windscreen banner. heehee It certainly suits me and I simply loooove it and it purrrs like a kitten, a joy to drive.

I don't know who Rosie Huntington-Whitely is.

But I'm too embarassed to say so...

I'll let you into a little secret: neither did I. I was going to say "Claudia Schiffer" but then thought I'd be showing my age and she probably is a wrinkly old prune by now.

So I Googled "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" and up popped Rosie Huntington-Whitely. I didn't disagree.

great attention to detail and a real standard out colour

i'm LOVING this!! Especially love the "coupe au chocolat" writing on the side. Really would love to do that kind of thing on mine. May have to look into that! I like!!!! The colour is lush too!

For anyone interested this hot little number is now for sale as its time for me to move on! She's only done 5750 miles and is as mint as the day I got her. Will be sorry to see her go but hopefully she will bring someone much enjoyment!
