Unless I'm hallucinating, looks like the 100HP has had a bit of a make over to coincide with the snazzy revamp of the FIAT(UK) website.

http://www.fiat.co.uk/showroom.aspx?id=3500#showroom/panda_100hp/configurator

Gone are the black sill extensions and on are colour co-ordinated ones, complete with the new red FIAT badges. I'm sure there are other detail changes across the Panda range as well. Of course, it could just be a fault with the configurator...

Not sure I like the body colour wheelarches,I much prefer the Black ones

I know what you mean. Elsewhere on the site (under 'Explore') it is shown with red badges but the black sills. Confusing, perhaps it is just a mistake! Also seems a bit light on technical details.

The pictures under Explore are photos the others are just computer annimation.

As said I agree prefer with the black arches

Fiat Italian website still has black arches and skirts on there's

We have a Tornado Red Golf GTi and that looks better with the black side skirts etc. VW brought out a Golf GTi Edition 30 (or something like that) with body coloured panels. Makes it look dumpy and heavy IMO. Same goes for the Panda.

It's just a cock up by the people who did the colour change programming, lots of manufacturers websites, and occasionally brochures, suffer from the same thing.

Find it amazing that Fiat rebranded just so they had a retro badge to put on the 500 as it looks so wrong on anything with styling from this century.

looks like they forgot to tint the rear windows?

Yeah definite cock up by the graphics team......Just a pity marketing didn't check it before general release.

A bit like showing the car with the 'Pandamonium' pack on the UK sales brochure when it wasn't available in the UK.

I think full colour coding would have put me off it in any case - stone chips, flaky paint - no thanks.

Bit like writing a brochure saying it will come with an mp3 stereo

LOL.

Have you given up all hope of getting one now?

Haha not as such.

Been speaking to Fiat head office this week about it. I refuse to give in and let them rip me off!!

Glad to hear it, shame your dealer's so useless.
