Is it looking at the bonnet, looking at those pert headlights, or perhaps her gently rounded flanks?

What's your favourite view of the coupé?

Must admit I am addicted to looking back at the sun reflecting on the rear quarter flank........gorgeous! love

It varies, each coupe is different!

I think that Fiats promotional pictures often showed the cars from their least complimentary angles laugh

Yeah, it was an object lesson in how not to sell one of the most beautiful cars in the world laugh

I just love looking in the drivers door mirror, it's a perfect view when the sun hits the glossy smooth paintwork or you look back to see the water beading and being swept away as you speed up love

for the metallic colours, when the sun comes out just as you finish polishing, and you can see all the metallic particles sparkling in the light... love

or when cleaning the alloys and you can see a perfect reflection of your house in the side of the car love

about that professional help.... er, who would you recommend? laugh

Well, it would be ideal to see a perfect reflection of Sarah Beeny naked in the side of the car but I suppose your house would do crazy

I recommend Dr. Paul & Prof Rog with assistance from the learned CarlT, M.D.

I like dead straight, the wing mirror view (like stan) and this one:

I don't agree it looks good from all angles, sadly it's possible to make it look awful ... but thankfully not easy!

Also like the back towards the side too however I'll admit that the back of the car took time to like...
