Right really really tough decision, i recently aquired a yellow 20vt 6, great i thought, that will do me for a couple of years! Then i found a wrongly advertised yellow 20vt that was infact a super rare Plus! So i bought that also.

But what 72hrs ago i just bought an ink black plus!

So now i have a dilema, the yellow 20vt 6 is out the window, but i carnt decide if i should keep a yellow plus or the black one??????

Both are loverlys (black one is bashed but thats not a problem to me) Both similar mileage, same year etc etc, but i cannot decide if i prefer the black or yellow!

Guess its the old love hate marmite position!

Help!

Hi no pics, the yellow one was advertised with a libary pic on the trader hence i spotted before you scavengers! What a idiot!

Black one is silverhino's, as seen in for sale section.

Im thinking yellow, just the black has a nice subtle classy look, could always paint it a proper shade of black while the glass is all out on the jig

If i keep the yellow the black plus gets chopped, i wont bother repairing to sell.

I would definatly have the yellow. the black is too dull IMO, and it is not even proper black.

Well IMO Ink Black is as proper as it comes, whilst yellow is just brash . And it's 'definitely' btw .

Sorry my spellin and grammer aint what it should be.

I think the Coupe's styling is in your face, and think yellow goes with it nicely..

I reckon you should keep Silverhino's - I just don't want to see it chopped.

Yeah, it was a nice example that one Another ink black plus fan here. Plus you'll make some serious money selling the yellow plus if by the sounds of it you bought it cheap as it was misadvertised.

Calt it seems to me its got to be the black.

Do up the black one and then spray it proper black and not that horrible blue/black tint.

Then start a bidding war on here for the Yellow Coupe

Gotta be black for me, seems to be a bit more easier to sell on in the future should you ever as Yellow is a marmite one where as black fits in well with anything and i think it looks better to be honest with the black sills and hides dirt better for commuting and nipping about and such like.

You are a Jammy sod though Carl

Right im drifting to the lellow, so looks like silverhino's ex minter is in for the chop!

Thinking on a bigger pic, whats the black one worth when i come to sell, will be on 90k soon, cat d, i think finding a buyer with 6k would be too hard.

So yellow i think it is!

I do love the black, and a nice ferrari or masserrati pearl black would have gone down a treat, but the lellow is too tempting. Plus the rarity value seems to be quite high!


But im still not 100% made up, only got 6 weeks to get either sorted ready to swap insurance to!

So not worth keeping it then, if your not gonna make much money back on it whole, chop it. Stick with the yellow!

Honestly, i'd keep the yellow, just the rarity of it will mean you lose no money for however long you keep it. So you may as well run it for a few months then sell it and still probably make on it

go with your heart and do not listen to any advice. After all do you consult your mates when choosing a woman

And a coupe colour is a far bigger decision

If i was you Carlt i would sell the yellow one, make some money on her and then put the black beast back to mint. A cat D isnt that bad, agreed it would put alot of people off but if its a car for you then you can run it like KP says and then you will have cheap motoring as i am sure you will get it mint cheaply with your facilities and skills

I really couldnt drive round in a yellow car and not feel slightly gay (yellow owners please dont take offence) you might aswell shout look at me out the window aswell when you drive past and anyone i have spoken to about yellow coupes have said they dont like them (other then owners obviously)

Also think of how much £££ you could get for the plus.

thats what i would do, and spray the plus LE black, (like mine ) or something more exotic like you said

Yeh, me personally im not bothered about written off stuff, thats all i buy and sell all year round, armed with my laser jig and data nothing comes out any less than perfect. I do like the idea of a proper black, but i just dont think i can be bothered.

What i would really like is a Red LE

So sod it im going to chop the black one and concours the yellow plus!

Got to be the yellow, particularly if you are concourseing it.

The black is a great colour, but it means that the dashboard strip is done in black, meaning that it doesn't look that different from a BMW black dashboard.

I still think making the black one mint and flogging the yellow is best from money point of view and keeping a nice black one as i dont think there are as many black ones as people claim. I wonder if we can see atual number from fiat about which colors sold the most??

Would you belive, just told by a 19yr old from scotland, he said he ownes a coupe' so he basically is above and ownes me! Apparently ive never had or got any only crap one for breaking. lol, people do get upset about 5 pounds dont they!
