Reckon you're right. Mine has the other alloys and a voltmeter. No oil temperature.

Seems like a pretty even split of opinion on this one. We'll have to arm wrestle for it. Forget black sills or even colour codes sills. You'll notice that over the years, the most celebrated, widely applauded and desired Coop examples have always had side skirts. The side skirts actually manage to make the 20 year old design timeless. That's what the general public appreciates. And that's what matters. Nobody really cares what a couple of purists think about an old Fiat.

That's what the general public appreciates. And that's what matters. Quite honestly who cares what the general public appreciates. I bought my coupe because I wanted one, not for the benefit of some unknown herbert in the next town.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Do you need public or general opinion on everything before you can make a decision yourself? I don't know. Can we have a poll? If other people's opinions didn't matter at all, then why does this forum have a 'Your Coupe Pictures' thread and an accompanying 'Your Coupe Pictures Comments' thread?

If some owners' opinion on black or colour coded sills don't matter, then why do we have a thread entitled 'black or colour coded sills'? Some people like to show off the cars they're proud of. Others like to ask for opinions, thoughts or inspiration. Some even like to stick great chunks of plastic to their cars and call it modern. Smacks of early '90s McDonald's car parks to me than timeless looks but it's their choice. That said, spoilers are shit

Although I sometimes struggle changing gear at right moment when I have radio on, and I always seem to go faster to heavy metal.

as long as your happy with your car who cares what others think But as with everything, the overall consensus quickly sums up the thing in question. If a car really is good looking, then most people will say the car is good looking. As we all know, most people say the Coop looks nice. It is this overall perception that confirms you are indeed driving a nice looking car, which in turn increases your own appreciation of the car's aesthetics. If everyone you know said your Coop was a rubbish looking car and wherever you went people laughed at your car, would you seriously keep it, even if you really liked it yourself?

For the record whilst I cannot gauge public opinion there are a lot of people I have met who have informed me they dislike the Fiat Coupe and especially it's styling....of which there are numerous such posts on here over the years

I’m pretty sure ‘The Batmobile’ is a compliment.

I think if it come with black sills then leave well alone and if it come with skirts fine. I wouldn't buy a car that had skirts fitted aftermarket even if the job was well done, hence the reason Im looking for an LE (I just love the look, stance and road presence)
Boooooooooost!!!
