I fitted these yesterday and have to say they look miles better than the standard sport side stripes. I was getting sick of seeing an identical 500 driving around Shaw, so now at least mines a bit different! lol

Just need white mirror covers now...

Very nice mate
Did you get them from ebay?

Cheers, yeah I got them off ebay. I had to send the 1st lot of stripes back though due to the '500' logo being very rough around the edges, I sent the vinyl cutter a high-res version of the logo and they've come out 100% better.

Very nice !!

Very nice. And like you say Just that little bit different.

Hey Si :wave: Mouse is looking damn good!

I am so tempted to say I'll swap my white mirror covers for your red ones but I fear my other half will kill me love the stripe, I am peed off with my stripe as the edges by the doors are getting tatty already.

The swapping mirrors thing is sooooo tempting, but the wife has forbid me...

Must be a bloke thing.

Hi,
My Chrome mirrors were factory fitted so unfortunately I don't have the Red covers I'll just keep checking ebay

Si

Oh what a shame. I saw some red ones on Ebay a while ago and kick myself now wishing I'd bought them! If I spy any white ones I'll let you know.

They look good for sure.

By the way was it easy to install.

Cheers

Arguably the best looking 500 i seen, very nice.

Cheers, they were quite easy to install really, hardest part was lining them up perfectly.

Am I right in thinking the side rubbing strips means stripes are out of the question ?

....or do they fit above ?

Good question, me personally, I think it would look really busy with both the stripes and the strips. Plus, I doubt you'd fit them below/above the strips without it look odd.

Agree there Si.
I might get some of these in black when mine arrives.
Where they expensive?

Not at all, only cost £25, but I ordered 2 lots due to me being a novice! I only made a bit of a mistake on the passenger side, but worth having 2 sets just in case!!!

They do look good.

Am getting something similar done for my 100hp, though obviously it will say Panda 100hp along the side in the right font/logo.

This is all a bit of a custom job though really as I really want to get the proportions exactly like on the Abarth.

Si, were you aware that they were using your pic in this ebay listing?
