[stilojay]

hello, newbie with his first post here i picked up my reportidly purple/or obergiene/or 'light black' (yes, apparently its been known as that ) Stilo 16v yesterday. Fantastic car with buttons buttons BUTTONS! look out for the "how do i fix a fused skyroof" post in time haha.. (awaits the 'put a new fuse in' replies). anyways, have read thro some of your posts and looks like your a helpful bunch, but hopefully i'll have no problems to worry about.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Nice car - is it new or second hand? And what spec/options do you have?

Oh yes, we are a helpful bunch indeed

 

[stilojay]

I have no idea Lol - its a 52, I'm the second owner. I dont know whats standard on them but it has the SkyRoof, a City and ASR button, lots of trip infomation & Fox Wheels. My previous cars were all french, last one being an 11 year old Pug 306DT, so electric windows that work is sheer luxury .

 

[blackJTD]

what engine you got?

 

[Grim_Evil]

yeah welcome on board, we want more information

Why not post a photo of it... I would love to see what your wheels look like.

 

[stilojay]

Hello again. I have downloaded some pic's from where I got her from.. but they are way to big apparently. how do I get the files smaller for posting? She's a 1.6 16v and soooooo quiet (at least compared to my old chug chug).

 

[Grim_Evil]

hi you could try using a online service like http://www.photobucket.com/http://www.photobuckt.org (free) and then link to them here

 

[stilojay]

ah cheers grim... here she is, a little standard looking perhaps but I'm well happy

Like the the colour i fink you find its called vitality blue! The wheels look good; but the look like 15" (just personally i prefer the bigger wheels size; seens as you can squeeze 19" into the stilo arches without modifications ) Great Purchase though m8, Enjoy!

 

[stilojay]

ah thank you v.muchly and yet another name for the colour Lol... any other ideas on the colour?

 

[1.8Stilo]

Thats the actually colour from fiat!! KoArAnG has the same colour! (If my eyes dont mislead my from ur picture)

 

[stilojay]

Vitality Blue it is then I've ordered some silver Fiat wheel centre's from Ebay last night, my first 'mod' Lol - I gotta cover them Fox badge's up.

 

[Scorg]

looks just like ink black does on my brava
as thats got a tiny hint of blue in the paint as well

Vitality blue only came out in 2004 and seeing as your car is a 52 plate then the colour is known simply as Navy Blue So at least you now know..

Here's a picture with navy on the left and vitality on the right

Hi, welcome to the forum!

Your car looks more like moire black to me!

Have a look at the little sticker/plate thing on the under side of the bonnet, it tells you there

 

[stilojay]

Nero Moire ZR is what it says under the bonnet

 

[timr69]

My MW is navy blue and there's a definite hint of purple in the paintwork especially on sunny days when the car's clean (not very often then ).

It almost looks like a pearlescent paint sometimes.

Your car looks much darker from your pics.

To add to the confusion, my used sales invoice says black
