General Favourite colour

[nicholasb]

Oops - voted for my own colour. Orange otherwise, then Silver.

I would vote for my own colour (midnight blue) but as I can't, I would say orange. I just think it kind of suits it. Seems quite a rare colour as well. If I was faced with the choice of any colour I would pick mine - I hadn't realised this before.

On another note. I popped into Fiat to look at the new 500 (very nice) and asked them about original Barchetta accessories. The guy had never heard of the car before. Does anyone know the full catalogue of accessories?

I have one somewhere but there was only a very limited list of extra's, the usual - wheels, windbreak, fog lights, luggage rack etc...........nothing too exciting!

Well... up to a few weeks ago when I'd seen Bs mostly in photos I thought the orange ones looked best, though only if they were very well looked after. But then when I was in Richmond a few weeks ago I saw a shiny black one that was gorgeous so I'll go for that

By the way, is that definitely all the colours available? I have a green one that looks about the same shade as in the chart (in fact I have the paint code somewhere) but I've seen DTR breaking a green one that was a lighter shade, maybe a bit less metallic. Also, when looking on ebay.de a few weeks ago I'm sure I found a wingmirror that was, I think, "Windsor Green". Of course they could be non-standard paintjobs that people have done themselves, but just wondered.

You've got a MkI jiggy, innit? The you've probably got the Metallic Garden Green.

Garden Green, Shiny Grey, Broom yellow - FIAT must have come up with the colour names at 16.59 on a Friday......................

Can't vote my own colour Silk Black. I like it when it's clean.....however dirt or flower polly or anything else sticks like a magnet to a black-ish car.
Silver always looks good, like the silver from the 1998 LE.

speaking od colours.......WHITE BARCHETTA ANYONE??? I asume it could look great in a white coat with a bit of pearl effect. some pics anyone? never seen a white barchetta. oh I try to imagine mine in white when i go the car-wash

 

[LittleRedB]

Funny enough the consensus at the Nottingham get together was that pearl white would be the colour to have a b in!

 

[RnRollie]

dunno, pearl white.. it will look too much like these:

or even worse.. like this zazen : http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/rinspeed_zazen.asp

There deffinately was a white barchy, i was talking to a boy over here who lived somewhere warm and said he was offered a white b, 2nd hand with no miles, also offered a white coupe turbo with no miles

mark

 

[RnRollie]

being offered cars, 2nd hand, with very very low milage, in a color that was never available off factory.... hmm :chin: could one also choose a custom VIN ?

or am i slightly paranoid here :spin:

 

[Unclechuchu]

Doc posted these on a request from me in another thread. I like it.

 

[silverbarchetta]

That works surprisingly well. Why does it have different wheels each side

 

[Alan.D]

Maybe swap with the other in the background? or pic was taken at different times after wheel swap.

Got to admitt I quite like that...
