General It's Arrived

[Mark Elvin]

The dealer called me "it's here" he tells me.

Looks fantabulous, the Jive Blue is a really difficult colour to capture accuratly on film, but blues are like that.

It's most like the last picture, but it's still not quite right, I love the colour.

The car look ace, just the A bar, Italian badges & chrome bonnet strip to go on, the bonnet strip is on backorder, no ETA on it either, but it will come.

Looks great! Quite jealous
Saw one in my local Fiat dealer here in Ireland. Really are a car to see in the flesh!

Colour looks good not sure about the alloys and the combination of the chrome mirrors and body colour. Just my opinion as long as you're happy.

I thought the wing mirrors look great and tie in nicely with the chrome kit. Funnily enough today upon my travels I actually seen a bog std 1.2 pop in your colour and was pleasently surprised how much the colour suits the 500. I suspect that ye ye green is also one of those colours that has to be seen to be appreciated.

Good luck n happy driving

Yoshi :spin:

I didn't want "sporty" alloys, I wanted to go for something that looked a little "classy" as it's such a retro colour, which hopefully they are.

I wasn't sure about the chrome mirrors either when I ordered it, but didn't want black or body colour so it was the only alternative & having seen them I am very happy.

Also found a chrome bonnet line on EBAY to fit as they are not available from FIAT at the moment!!!!!

Are you the same Mark Elvin that had the lime green Metro Track car?

 

[Mark Elvin]

Depends who's asking????

 

[ensonricky]

I hope it was a 6R4 or you've got some explaining to do.

 

[Mark Elvin]

It was a 1400 GTi race car.

Class winning car at that!!!!!!!

1min19's around Combe.

 

[ensonricky]

My dad bought a new MG Metro Turbo many years ago and it blew a turbo when about a week old and struggled to do 30mph. I remember being in uncontrolable fits of laughter as we chugged along.

 

[Thomas_Si]

Used to follow you thread on MetroPower, back when I had a tro. Great car was Limey, very light weight.

Have you still got the mini?

I've got a 5Dr Dynamic Grande Punto now handles a bit better than the tro lol:devil:

 

[Mark Elvin]

Mini has gone too, hoping to by a Jade or Jedi to race next year, then the real fun starts.

 

[andy armitage]

Mark have you got any pictures of the dash I would like to see it with the ivory ambience I bet it looks great

I think the chrome mirrors work best on the darker colours. They look good to me. Just goes to show the 500 is all about personal preferences which is great. Someone might even pick red leather with yellow, who knows?
