The new one would look nice with black wheels, but I bet you've already thought that wink

Black wheels have been done to death though thats the only problem. Tempted to leave them dark grey and maybe paint the roof to match but undecided yet.

They have I agree but it does look good, I was thinking of having my Fez wrapped white so I could do the black wheel thing.

I've become very tempted by the new Fiesta ST, especially since we're permitted to have the Mountune kit fitted in Luxembourg, which given the local authority's view on "modifications" is rare!

I had my car serviced last week, and was thinking about selling it and getting a new 595 Comp, but can't help but think the Fiat 500's a tad small for me, even as a 2nd car.

Local dealer's got 2 almost new ST2 in stock, both Molten Lava, one at €17k with 16k km the other at €21k with 4k km. I'm very tempted....

Surprised you've chosen white for the replacement, OP. We've 2 white cars at home and wish to have a change to something more colourful. wink

Swapped the headlights, grilles, badges and wind deflectors off the orange one today, just gotta fit the splitter now to finish the front end off. Loving the white with the black and red bits.

Looks great Adam. The black / white theme is already looking great. Will look forward to seeing it in person.

Hmm. All very interesting.

Mrs and I get ours (white, sorry) in March (hopefully the first) after ordering on Christmas Eve.

I have heard some horror stories with delays on these though, has anyone else?

One chap we know ordered his in may and picked it up two weeks ago?! The only extra he put on it (st2) was the dab/sat nav.....

All depends on the dealer you use, the dealer can put a certain level of priority on the order ranging from 1 to 99 with 1 being high priority. This white one was ordered middle of november and arrived two months later. But yes ive heard stories of long waits by some people. Theres plenty of stock now in dealers so you only have to wait if you want a factory order with specific options.

Adam - Do what I did on my car and go for a matt titanium colour. It looks much better than just black smile
