General Where you hiding??

This thread caught my eye although I then realised that its origins are a couple of years old. I was slightly amused by the comment that the pollen filter "was black" when inspected. Be sure when drawing the conclusion that it hadn't been changed forever that it wasn't actually an activated charcoal one... Just saying, since they do exist for Panda systems.
 
Hi Guys

I purchased my lovely 2018 Panda Cross twinair in Tropicala yellow at the end of May after lusting (maybe over selling it somewhat) after one since seeing one in the local railway station car park in Hednesford Staffordshire (Where I live) over a year ago.
And you know what? I haven't seen another one on the road or elsewhere since that date. I know they are somewhat over priced - I got a staff discount on mine.
Do any of you fellas see other ones on the road regularly? No one I know has ever seen one apart from mine. Does anyone know how many are floating around the UK? I appreciate that they are probably more common on the continent.

One a different matter I managed to haggle a service plan deal with StoneAcre for the twinair for 3 years servicing for £260 (they originally wanted £300) I told them I got a cheaper quote - I didn't :) does this sound like a fair price for dealer servicing? Once out of warranty I'll do my own servicing.

Any comments appreciated, cheers!
There was a yellow Panda Cross in Folkestone near East Cliff last weekend.

I changed mine recently and the one that came out was indeed an activated charcoal one so appeared very much dirtier than it really was. The new one (Genuine Fiat from Shop4Parts) was just plain white though. I do though seem to get much more air through the vents now - previously fan speed 1 was not enough (but 2 too much). Now speed 1 is fine most of the time. The 'link to the easy way to change it' (referred to two posts up) is here https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-iii/481366-changing-pollen-filter-my-easy-way.html?p=4543190
