500 Urban white/Bossa Nova *HELP*

[Evanshay]

Hi! Glad to be on board this forum!

I'm in the process of buying a new Fiat500c however, I am convinced I have seen them in WHITE, note cream, or off white but shiny, clear white. However, my local dealer says this is not the case as they don't do it in white. On their website they have Bossa Nova White (Standard) or you pay £750 for the Urban white - which my dealer says is still an off white/cream colour.

Please can anyone help as I feel like I'm going mad. I've definitely seen white ones driving around and I know I'll be disappointed if I order the Bossa Nova and it turns out to be creamy-ish :-(

Thanks!!!

Hi and welcome

I'm not too hot on the modern fiats, but from what I understood Bossa Nova White is the proper white, white.

Bossa Nova White is Fiat's standard white colour.

It is slightly creamy by nature, though not as creamy as the creamy white colours Fiat have sometimes used. The 'white' Fiats you see driving around are mostly Bossa Nova White (unless by some chance they've been sprayed in a non standard colour).

If you put it next to one of the truly white colours (such as Ford's Diamond White), the creamy nature of BNW is easily seen.

Take a look round any reasonably busy car park and there should be at least one BNW 500 to compare with the white cars of other marques.

Yep, Bossa Nova looks very 'white' when new and that's probably what you've seen around, they tend to go a bit creamy after a while unless kept very clean and waxed, As JR said, Bossa Nova is slightly off white and creamy by nature.

Our new (16 plate) 500 is Bossa Nova and it is definitely not brilliant white - we wouldn't have bought it if it was. It's slightly towards cream, but not much.

Urban White is a pearly colour, it's like a metallic white
