500 let me introduce........

[Exoticaholic]

Yoshi,

So pleased you finally laid your hands on Tiddler. I've been following your threads with ulmost interest.

My 500 has arrived at last but I can't lay my hands on it until next week pending approval from DVLA. This is due to a cherished plate transfer from current car to 500 which is taking a while (7-10 days they said)

Having waited 15 weeks, I think I can just about cope with another week's waiting.

Enjoy Tiddler and all the best

Very, very smart. Liking it a lot, and I don't (didn't) like red cars. Now I don't know what to think...this is a lovely deep, rich red.

There is a red one in 'my' showroom, and I am attrated to that too, but I love the yellow

Can you answer me, please; why did you go for the Sport and then add chrome? I am thinking of the Sport to avoid the chrome - or was it to avoid the ivory ambiance, which I rather like?

I think they'll be taking me in soon because I can't make up my mind at all over the ivory/non-ivory, the seats - I love the check Lounge ones - chrome - no, not really - chrome knob - I love that, and so it goes on ... oh, is that a blue light

Nice one Yoshi!! Tasty little motor you have there. Nice to see a Sport with chrome, sets the red off a treat - very smart indeed. Happy 500-ing

1st of all thanks for all your kind comments its much appreciated . If I could of gotten tiddler into the living room last night then I would of (instead of staring out of the bedroom window for nearly an hour taking in all of the great design details).

For those of you still waiting, all I can say is that is well well worth the wait & will hopefully exceed your expectations.

To answer the above question: I went for the sport because i really did'nt like the lounge interior with the red. If it was a cha cha or jive or black (the more retro colours) then it looks great but we prefered the more sporty style seats & the wife loved the spoiler, blacked out rear windows etc (bit of a girl racer ) Also with 2 young daughters we were worried that the ivory interior would be more open to abuse from me maids.
As for the chrome I am a great fan of it on ALL the darker coloured cars, trust me it really does add to the overall look. I mean even audi on the RS range of cars add chrome to the mirrors so chrome can be sporty. i did'nt go for the a bar in the end as i felt that was again a more retro addition and we wanted a more "sporty" looking bambino.

No choice is right or wrong, its about being individual and thats what great about the new 500 :wave:.

Cheers gora go...got to try n wrestle the keys away from the wife

Well when i pulled up in "tiddler" the 1st thing she noticed was the italian wing badges (which she did'nt want ) but i had put on anyway . It took her about 5 mins to clock the plate and then she was gob smacked (for once ) but well chuffed!! We've had a great weekend so far, & i've got tomorrow off so time to give "tiddler" a bath. Just a quick question...what do you use to clean up the chrome? I have all my new cleaning kit ready and was'nt too sure about the chrome tho .

Catch you all soon & thanks again for all your positive comments & support..... happy 500 d'ing :wave:

Yoshi

PS Congrats to valentino rossi today........true & utter genius :worship:
