500 500 Street

Looks awesome! White and black is a good combo (not biased... )! More pics pls!

thanks
i also really like the black and white colour scheme
heres a close up of the stripe (its the only other pic i have for now)

Hi everyone
really liking my 500, i find my self looking at my reflection when driving it and i comstantly look back at it once ive parked up.
i love the seats, the wheels, the aux input, the stripe basically everything about it.
unfortunaltly the black leather insnt great in the hot weather we're getting now and using aircon is making my mpg go down to 43.2 other than that im happy

That means you've got the right car! I'm a firm believer of that old thing that if you don't look back at your car when you've parked it, it's not the right one for you.

I'm looking at some wind deflectors before summer to keep me cool so i can have the windows down (don't have aircon!)

Glad you're enjoying!

annother thing im not enjoying is having to find my keys everyday (my mam has a BNW Lounge and she keeps taking my key then wondering why her central locking doesnt work even though mine is there fashing it indicators) im going to look at a new key cover maybe abarth to match my keyring
I also totally agree, if you you park your car and dont look back, you bought the wrong car

Alex

Yeah, I think all you can do is get a lanyard or something to distinguish them! eBay have got some cheap coloured ones too for a quick fix.

its quite easy to tell them apart now anyway
mine is good condition with a piston keyring with abarth badge ontop
hers is a slightly broken key cover with the 500 italy ribon keyring

Fair!

Just gotta keep yours seperated. We've got three 500s, so you can imagine the confusion that causes.

update
still enjoying the car averaging 44- 48 mpg. been back to the dealer to get a DRL plug which was missing
ive fitted chrome indicators in the front and new drl bulbs which look brighter
also just ordered a new key cover

I like it too!

very nice! i like those black wheels

Thanks
I really like the wheels, they make car look really sport but they are a pain to keep clean i habe to clean the by hand then dry them immediately or else i end up with water marks on
just a heads up if anyone wants matte black wheeels

Added some details to my engine bay
Doesn't look like much but I like it

Hi

quick update after my trip i noticed a grinding noise from my front right brake, turns out the brake had been binding and had wore the pad's right down.

got them reolaced the other day and my brakes are a lot sharper (similar to my dad's Mondeo) and my mpg has improved from previously being 46.6mpg to now getting 53.4mpg

also I now have red callipers for the extra 10 bhp will post pics later

pic of the red calipers

Hello

Just over a year since I got the 500, done just over 11,000 fault free miles apart from a binding front calliper.

fuel economy has been great lowest I've seen is 43.2mpg and the highest is 62.2mpg. the car always seems to be able to make you smile.

I've also had Apex -30mm lowering springs on the car and it handles and looks a lot better than standard
