any news on if that green will come to the uk cant see on the abarth configuration ?
Yes it will, there are already a couple of green ones floating around. The Abarth configurator is crappo, it gives an ok indication of what you can have but when you get to the dealers you'll find there is a lot more available! geeks said:

Picked it up and very pleased. Its on Michelin pilot sport 3 tyres too which is a nice bonus.
More photos etc this evening.
Very nice! Does it have the updated Monza exhuast? Pleased? Needs more pictures!More photos etc this evening.
And yes looks to have the new Monza as it’s shiny.
I've got to go out this evening so not much abarth playtime unfortunately.
Spec wise its
595c compitizione in podium blue
Natural leather sports seats (rather than the sabelts)
Formula wheels in titanium
Yellow calipers
Xenons
Auto dipping mirror
7 inch screen with beats and car play/android auto
Carbon dash
It's got the new monza exhaust too which sounds great. There's a definite difference between normal and sport mode rather than the flap that opens with exhaust pressure.
Overall I'm really pleased with it, the extras really add a bit of finesse that the turismo was lacking. The carbon dash is really nice and it's nice to be able to have proper satnav rather than my phone being in a holder stuck to the dash.
The only downsides I've noticed at the moment is the little net thing from the side of the transmission bit has been taken away, I used that to store my various parking permits. The main thing is that before it would remeber if you were in sport mode and stay in that mode the next time you started the car, now it defaults to standard each time. Not the end of the world but it was a nice touch.
The clean and protection process will commence tomorrow.

Looks great!
I did think the carbon dash was standard on the comp for some reason though..... Ah well if mine isn't I will just get it wrapped!

I'm so jealous of that carbon dash! Mine has the dull grey dash and tbh there's no comparison it is very drab but I bought used so you get what you get.
I’ve done a silly amount of research over the past few weeks and Komishi group make a carbon dash which you can retro-fit as well as every other part of interior trim in carbon. It’s not cheap but it can be done. Anyone seen this on AT? I'll be honest, alot of this I don't like (including the price, 35k!) however, I like the roof lining and the alcantara door cards!

If carbon is what you're after then https://www.ms-r.co.uk it's not cheap though!
Geeks you are lucky having a dealer who is actually interested in customer service. The guy who I was dealing with left a lot to be desired. My handover was with him and a senior salesman as the one I was buying from is in special measures to try and improve. I refused to do any paperwork until I saw the car but he didn't want me to see it. The senior bloke wasn't happy and stopped ever until I'd seen the car.
Not long until Saturday now!

Actually I will be honest, I'm not, the service has actually only improved very recently when I threatened to cancel the order with Abarth Customer Care. Also their has been a change in leadership at the dealer as well, new sales manager is much better than the old one, who mysteriously just left. To his credit though the sales guy has been very apologetic about the whole experience and it does seem as though the old sales manager was the route of the problems I had early on such as not getting my order in before the factory closed etc. We'll see, if I arrive at 4:30 on Saturday and the car isn't ready there will be hell to pay but the signs are good that I will be leaving giggling like a child with the sport button pressed Geeks you are lucky having a dealer who is actually interested in customer service.
