General Black panda twinair 85 Lounge

[kronsell]

Hi
This is my new Panda I got last week. I'm very happy with the car although it's a bit thirsty on the motorways the turbo is really something that adds a lot of fun to the driving experience. The car was a demo with 4000km on the counter, so I guess the engine should be run in by now. My avarage is about 35 - 42mpg depending how heavy my foot is

Hope you like the colour of my Panda
Cheers

Loving the red interior, and the black paint. Good combination

I'd almost be tempted to get the red mirror covers and hubcaps, to go with that colour scheme....

 

[kronsell]

That would look cool. Any idear how much this will cost ?

In the UK -- according to the awful FIAT website -- £31.32 for a set of hub caps (but you may need the 'posh' alloy wheels, first -- as I don't know if they fit on the standard alloys... -- at £172.26 each...!); and £52.20 for a pair of mirror covers. I also thought you could get colour-coded roof rails: but can't find these, now -- although they may only have been available at time of ordering....

Hope this helps....

PS: Just found the red "longitudinal roof rails". They're £146.16. (Don't know if any of these prices include VAT; and the rails will probably be a pain to fit....)

Thanks, I have the posh alloy wheels with the red caps already
I just need the red mirrors covers then :slayer:

My eyesight obviously isn't what it used to be.... I looked at your piccies: but couldn't quite tell...!

PS: With 50-50 hindsight, can now see them on that last image!

PPS: Not tempted by the red roof-rails, then, to replace the stock ones...?

 

[kronsell]

The roof rails could be nice, but i'm affraid my budget won't allow it now

 

[kronsell]

Oh, I found a link to the red roof rails. They do look nice indeed :yum:

I am surprised you did not receive steering wheel controls and USB port with lounge trim.

REALLY nice,
the dash is A LOT of RED , but goes with the scheme well,

I've only done 1000 miles on my twinair - and it IS lively on the Turbo,
I'm told the engine will not really free off until 7,000 miles / 10,000 KM,

Almost all the demo lounges that were on sale in Denmark at the time I bought mine came without the steering wheel control and USB. My arms are long enough to reach the radio, so it's not a big problem USB would have been nice though.

Best score full tank 16KML / 37MPG
Best score short trip 20KML / 47MPG

Yes, here in the UK the Lounge model does not have Blue&Me/USB port as standard either. I think the specifications do differ from country to country.

For me personally, I think this is a big mistake as the Lounge is the top-of-the-range car; it should have better levels of standard equipment.
