cjh OP I need some sleep Joined: Jan 2006 Posts: 3,069	Had a discussion with Steve on FB page who assured me LEs are in fact not metallic I could be wrong and happy to correct myself, I even checked details on the buyers guide and of course have seen a fair share of them over the years... So LE black - metallic or not? Thanks all Last edited by cjh; 08/10/2014 14:35. "Storm Brewing" +

The only metalic black in the Coupe models is the 16v models, Ink black isn't black but it does have metalic. www.facebook.com/fiatcoupes
