As you may well know I am considering a 100HP, I did have my heart set on the grey if I was to buy, I went for my test drive today and the car was in New Orleans Blue. Previously I had only seen this colour on the Fiat website which does not do it justice at all!! Even some 'proper' photo's online don't do it justice - in "real ife" I was very impressed, seen another one today, looks great!

Only problem is now, I ain't seen the grey one in "real life" could be even better!!!!! lol, but seriously both very nice colours!

Well the new orleans blue is a nice colour but a bitch to keep clean ..that's the good thing with the silver it doesn't show the dirt so much ..the blue tho looks brill when its all polished up

Agreed, lovely colour but it has to be kept clean or it looks bad. Electroclash you could probably wash once every year and get away with it; perhaps that's why so many repmobiles come in that shade...

Electroclash Grey!!

Looks great.. dirty or all shiny!

Great pic there!!

TBH, to me, grey became somehow dull (had it 4 a month only). I would rather go with black, white or maybe red now. The moment I bought my car the dealer replaced his now ex-exhibit model with a new, white one (pandamonium looks awsome on white!). I drove by the other day and my oh my did it look stunning!

Sure tho, you'll have to wash it more often - but the thing with white is, that it makes every element of the car look terriffic, be it the rear fake difusor, black plastics on the fenders, darker shade of grey wheels (pand. kit), red calipers, even that striped pand. sticker! Besides, it looks even more grown up due to optical illusion of the car being bigger...

Yeah, I'do go for white...or black....darn! Sweet dilemma...

I wanted black till I saw the blue. Not all that bad to keep clean IMO compared to other cars I have had.

i havent seen the 100hp in new orleans blue other than in pics, but the dealer had a grande punto in the showroom in that colour and yes...its one of the best blues ive seen, period. very, very nice.

you do really need to see car colours in reality - the grey looked a lot nicer than in photos as well

I was going for New Orleans Blue, went into the showroom to place the order ... theyhad a red one on display. Bugger. I just had to order mine in red - its the right colour for a little Italian beastie like this. Not too bad for showing the dirt either.

When I went down to my local dealers for the launch of the 500, there was a line of cars parked outside in New Orleans Blue. Must say that as a colour it looked really good, even with the rain sitting on them...

Electro clash grey...My 100 hp has,nt been washed since mid Dec last year.....Pure *FILTH* ..... Still looks reasonable.....

Mine was washed around, mmmm, when was the last rolling road day :chin:

:shakehead: All that road salt will be clinging on nicely to the paintwork...

I wash mine regularly to get rid of the grit and the mud that I pick up (and get splashed with by the lorries) on the mountain road.

It's a great colour although i would say that!

It still looks good even when dirty, but im fanatical and have to wash minie every weekend! lol (sad i know) It does look pukka after a good wash and polish though


M100 NSY

p.s stu demon and puffed out daddy get your buckets out and get cleaning!! lol

I've ordered mine in white

Was tempted by the electroclash grey, but the white one looks awesome and is definietly more rare. I've only ever seen the grey ones on the road (althugh not seen many about - might be the same one, lol)

Andy Panda has some good pictures on the forum of his white one....

All this talk of 100HPs is making me want to trade in my Dynamic....stop it you lot.

And yes, New Orleans Blue is the best colour. Am so car proud at the mo, I'm getting mine washed and waxed every weekend. Dirve round the Scottish Borders all week though, so it gets filthy.

Although I didn't wash the old Punto for 18 months - it was only the dirt holding it together in the end.

the blue does look nice in the flesh, still reverted back to the grey though, I wouldn't have the red now I've seen one, but the white and black are awesome

I'd have it in blue, black or grey. White is a bit lairy for me!!!!

mmmm Grey 100HP.

(Must remain strong and not trade Dynamic in).

haha, i was the same with all the 100hp talk lately, came this close to going for a black 100hp and my Multijet is only 6 months old, so I just bought some multispoke 15" alloys for my panda and all is good

will be spoilt for choice when it comes to trade in time in 3-4 years... new panda, 500, new fiat uno, new grande punto...
