Sleep tight my little coop's. See you in the morning


A sight for sore eye's

Lol, Are you SURE you have enough coupés there Phil? I mean, mabee you could add another one in there! there is space

My wife say's I'm a hoarder Sam. Don't know where she gets that idea from?

Im shocked that they haven't sold yet, You do pick some *different* colours however

true. imagine how nice a porto would look tucked up next to them

I have found that these colours really grow on you. The chamonix green really is something to see when it's buffed up and the wine red is quite eye catching.

My wife loves it, if it were an auto, it would not be for sale.

*Internal message for Sam* Thanks for doing the update Sam - you think I'm bad, wait till you see/hear me at work with my web designers!!

you are right patch. i dont want to start a huge 'what colour' thread, but apart from sprint blue , i think the coupe looks good in all its colours.

however, is it just me, or do the lighter colours show off the lines a bit better?

the wine red as you say is quite striking, and the scots green in particular is very classy in my opinion.

I'm almost tempted to get a 16v you know.....

I think the only choices for me are a 16vt or a LE

Yep, I think we can all agree that colours are subjective.

I have found that the non-metallics come up better with a mop, you can really get them looking far glossier with a deeper shine.

Sam - have you seen Joe's (FCSS) Silver LE - Low mileage, super original condition number 212 I think. I'd have it if I didn't already own 3

And I would be a very dead man indeed phil, care to explain the ownership of another coupe after explaining how impractical the last one was to the missis?

No, not me as well

Well, just tell her to mind her own business, bound to sort it out for you that mate!

Tell her silver ones are more reliable - or that non-modified coops are more fuel efficient or that LE's have a better engine or that LE's aren't really classed as coupe's.

OR - Just tell her you were wrong!

Do you use a Cinquecento to round them into the pen at night?

They look all cozy snuggled up together, you cant separate them!

OK soppy mode off.... What a great outlook from your front room!

What is the albino just out of shot?

I'm liking the Coupe car park

What colour is going to appear next?! Porto I reckon

lol - It's a toyota, does not belong in the shot



Yellow me thinks

Don't worry Theresa I know I'm not the only one who thinks Sprint blue looks smart (esp. with black wheels ) Of the 11 or so coops at the Bristol Italian car show 5 were sprinties!!

Patch you ACTUALLY need a 'FIAT Coupe Parking Only' sign to put up in your drive!

Another thumbs up for sprint blue, the colour of my first coop!

Now finding myself drawn towards scotts green, like jamie3's in the for sale thread. Very nice can't believe it hasn't sold yet?!

OI!

Im with Teresa on this one!




Porto indeed... pah!



I do have a Broomy Cinq though so I will sit between Patch and T!

Same here

You are all missing out on Phil's subliminal message here.
Phil doesn't have many freinds so he has to arrange his own coupe meet to make him feel like he does

What do you put on? Idealy you'd use different products for metallics.

Mostly american reviews but this stuff gets a good write up: http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/blackfire-wet-diamond-kit-cat1.html

I've not tried it because my paint is fubar, but certainly will on my next car (if it's metallic).

Not really Dave ..... not if you are using quality products in the first place Solid colours seem to gloss better IMO and experience on coupe's

Each to their own, I've only used meguiars (not quite in the same league as the collinite crowd) but I preferred the finish of tech wax over canuba.

Cool, what colour coop do you have?

Silver. Lot of hard work and very little reward when you've finished

The upside of that I guess is if I'm feeling lazy I can leave it a month without it looking like a tramp car

I agree you can't get that mirror like shine on metallic paints though, it's all about the sparkles When the sun catches it just right though the whole day correcting, polishing and waxing feels worth it.

Yep, I've had a Steely See Patch's Cheap Purchase Project in 'Projects' You should check out the graphite wheels I put on it, they really made the car look the business and helped accentuate the silver paint ... worth considering Dave

Good choice. Save the best til last
