Styling Question about stripes for Fiat 500 Twinair+

[EvaD]

Hello to you all!
I am about to order a Fiat 500 Twinair+ , which comes with standard black roof, black spoiler and wheels.
I decided to go for White Bossa Nova (although I liked blue indigo as well), but I haven't made a decision about stripes and stickers, so I would really like to hear your opinion.

Option A: Number 5 black sticker and Black Sport Decor Strip

Option B: One colour black 500 strip (I will have to purchase it from eBay, because Fiat cannot insert it due to the black roof) and Black Decor Strip

Option C: Just Black Sport Decor Strip

Unfortunately I couldn't find in video configurator a completely black roof, black spoiler and black wheels, so try to image these on the above pictures.
Any other option is welcome as well!

If the roof and wheels are black then personally I'd go for C. I don't think it'll need any more stripes than the side ones. But they all look good.

 

[RobinPJ]

I'll have a C please, Bob.

Would go for C, but would also add a side rubbing stripe with a 500 logo. (A not bad either, btw).

I totally agree with defkalion! Option C it's fine (plus the 500 rubbing stripe). If you go for option a or b i think that is too much! (black)

I guess it's easy to add later on but more difficult to take away.

I wonder, once you've got the car and are driving it, your worries about which sticker to put on it will disappear?

Option C.

No side strip..

They are actually quite easy to take off - warm with a hair dryer and peel. Only potential issue (with cars that have had stickers for a long period of time) is that the paint underneath won't have faded as much. Not an issue with BNW though.

I have just purchased one of them

This new (?) fad for black wheels is a puzzle to me. They look to me like someone has put four spares tyres on, but maybe I'm an old fuddy duddy. I do appreciate that it's down to individual taste.

Maybe that's for a new thread.

 

[Francesco]

the picture doesn't do justice to the wheels. They really finish off the car imo

 

[EvaD]

Thank you all very much for your replies!

@Francesco congratulations on your new 500 twinair+ ! It looks awesome!

Right now I have second thoughts. I found some pictures on Flickr of Twinair+ in blue indigo and I must admit that I like it a lot. So, if you had to choose between bossa nova white and blue indigo, would you give the second one a chance or not?

The blue indigo is a nice colour in the flesh. I would say it does look slightly lighter than both of the photos above. Quite unusual too in that so far I've only ever seen one parked outside a dealer!! Try and get to see one in the flesh if you can - then you can make your choice

 

[FloJo]

As if by magic, this one is the midnight indigo blue I think https://www.fiatforum.com/members-motors/285842-my-new-twinair-plus.html

edit: and this one too http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/front_website/gallery.php?id=474865

I test drove the blue one and it was filthy! they are hard to keep clean apparently, I know i say this in comparison to a white car

 

[defkalion]

Personally , I'd go for a lighter and brighter colour. I think they suit the 500 best. Plus the dark black roof does not contrast enough on the blue indigo. However, as I always say, this is IMHO!

 

[EvaD]

Unfortunately I couldn't find a dealer to see blue indigo in flesh
So I ordered a Fiat 500 Twinair+ in Bossa Nova White with Dualogic, which will arrive in 2-3 months.

 

[defkalion]

EvaD, just noticed you live in Greece. Try LAMDA at Metamorfosi if you want, they have one in their exhibition...

Eva 3 months is a lot. I placed my order on October 19 and my car is already built. :S During the first 10 days of December i'm gonna have it.

You people are so lucky. I had to wait 7 months for my 1.2 dualogic 3 years ago
