General Dashboard colour

[Edgie70]

Hi all , we're going to look at buying this grey fiat 500 tomorrow and I've noticed something a bit weird , the dash is burgundy, seats front and rear are stitched burgundy too but every other grey 500 I can find doesn't have that colour dash , am I right in thinking that all is good because the seats are stitched the same colour? Thanks

It sounds like a special edition. I recall seeing one with a burgundy dash but I can't remember what edition it was... might be a "Mirror". There will be badges on the door frame.

The regular Pop/Lounge have body-coloured dash and less Bentley-esque seats.

That's my thinking also. Possibly a dolcevita? I've a memory of having seen the matt burgundy dash as a part on a breaker's website.

If the OP can link to the car ad, I can take a look and see if it's proper. You can PM me if you don't want to post it on a public forum.

Thanks , the car is took off the autotrader now because it's been reserved by us , the dash matches the stitching on the front and rear seats

Yes.. that's the one I've seen before.... so apart from we don't know what it is, it's a pukka factory job, not an aftermarket customisation.

That helps a lot. Obviously recent, I'm guessing this is a new or prereg car.

As far as I can tell, it's genuine. The following text is official Fiat:

New 500 Star, the epitome of elegance

Keen to build on the impressive success achieved by the Lounge version, the Fiat brand has decided to create an even richer, more elegant trim: the Fiat 500 Star. One of the main new features of the new version is the brand new metallic White Stella finish, embellished with nuances of pink, a perfect match for the chromed details, 16-inch alloy wheels and Skydome glass roof, all offered as standard equipment, including fog lamps. The 500 Star is also available in the following liveries: Gelato White, Carrara Grey, Vesuvius Black, Pompei Grey, Opera Bordeaux, Colosseo Grey, Epic Blue, Ice White. Whatever colour you choose, the new range confirms the importance of the colour combinations for the Fiat icon: indeed colour is not just a question of look but a key part of a product philosophy that offers the maximum in terms of personalisation as one of its founding elements.
The exclusivity of the exteriors is also mirrored inside, with the brand new interiors of the Star version, the ultimate expression of style for the 500 range, which are available in two colour combinations, white sand and black, and in the elegant, new Matelassé finish with details in eco leather and a bordeaux embroidered 500 logo. And from today, the dashboard fascia, which until now was supplied in the same colour as the bodywork, can now be chosen in one of the two new shades; White Sand with a pearly finish or matt Bordeaux. In the centre of the dashboard, the digital instruments present stand out, including a 7-inch TFT screen, the largest in the category.
