Wheels are @ the powder coater, they will be coated in Matte Anthracite. 
Wheel centre caps will not be used, instead i will use small hub caps between the bolts.

Nice, but they'd look better on a Barchetta!

You had a look to see what it'd look like without the roof bars? I'm tempted to take mine off.... May look a little sleeker. Also what colours your interior?

Nope my roof bars are still on and stay on the car, i like the Panda better with them on.
My interior is the Blue version.

I like the blue dash - I've not seen one before. Much nicer than my bronze one

I think the Bronze Dash would look much better without the silver Radio and clocks surround.I like the blue dash - I've not seen one before. Much nicer than my bronze one
If those parts would be mat black like the climate controls it would look much better IMHO.
The bronze dash is easily to exchange for a Dark Grey one.
Don't think Blue would suit the Cross interior, TBH.

Maybe not. And I'd still be left with those dull-as-ditchwater brown & grey seats. Worst aspect of the Cross, IMHO.
I also agree about the silver dash surrounds, which are like a cheap 1970s Alba stereo. Sigh.

Yep, i have to agree, the Cross interior does not have the best colour combination within the Panda interiors.
Just stumbled onto this thread. Really like what you've done with the 16in steel rims, though I prefer silver. Where did you get them? Where they new, how much did they cost? Have you noticed any effect on economy or performance? Do they fit okay -- is the ET31 offset correct? I like the 7.5x17 Bravo alloys I have but I'd like better economy/less performance drop-off while still having much better grip/handling over the std 14in steel rims. Do you know if they come in silver? Sorry for all the questions!

If you want Silver you need to powder-coat them, black only.
I bought them (Alcar KFZ 9087) new at Oponeo.nl, but there is also a Oponeo.co.uk
I have zero problems with them at 7.0x16" offset 31, with 195/45R16" tires.
When i need new tires in the future i plan to go one size up to 205/45R16".
Still have to investigate if there is enough space for one size bigger though.
