Hello

Just bought a Vinci Grey Coupé reg L3 TUR. Got to wait for the cheque to clear and the wait is killing me.

I've spent years wanting one and many hours lurking in the forums reading all the posts.

I've read all the horror stories and I’m sufficiently paranoid enough to be a proper coupé owner.

I hope to get it next week but it could be longer.
I’ll post some new pictures once I’ve got it.

Thinking of using a paint sealant on it (diamond bright) anyone done this before?

Anyway I looking forward to speaking with you lot (even if some of you are a bit mad)

Welcome.


Nice Coupe. I thought or was told ObsidianOura bought this Saturday?

hello & welcome
my uncle rang and told me someone had just bought it saturday afternoon.
congrats on purchase

Carl, same person, changed his username

He did. He's me just changed my name. Sounded daft that name

Not daft, just long and difficult to spell!

Congrats on finally becoming an owner!

Thank you! I'll be the world’s proudest owner. I keep telling people at work and they just look bemused and say "a fiat what?"

Girlfriends safely tucked away at Uni so I see no problems for now

It's a big big improvment from the 1993 1.7 TDI astra i drive right now.

I've seen a few fiat coupés around Colchester I can finally wave at them without confusing the driver :D.

You won't be saying that when you get the coupé


Hopefully it'll be a cracker though

I do feel a little safer with Power Fiat near by.

I'll keep a good eye on her

It must be nice to have a huge safety net in the form of Powerfiat close at hand


I wonder if they fancy expanding and opening a branch in Cumbria?

Maybe if you asked them nicely...

......they'd say no?

Alas I fear you may be right.

Alternatively you could try scoping out housing prices in Laindon

Welcome to the forum alistair

You will be paranoid wondering when they are going to finish your paintwork off with a nice sprint blue top coat

here we go again

for the record, Vinci is one of the best colours!

Gawd can you imagine that happening!!



I think I'd wail like a skelped dog!

Vinci Grey is gorgeous however, its almost the same shade as my dads new skoda octavia...

yeah, just slower than his car though

congrats !

Stunning car when I saw it in the flesh, the colour is

Hi and welcome

Hi Alistair, you cant be proudest owner though.....cus thats me! You be number two

Welcome...enjoy

Ha! We shall see about that.

I like your coupé it's nice n shiny.

I'm hoping to get my fiat done with diamond bright hopefully mirror finish after that

Thanks for the welcome everyone This week is going so slowly waiting for that cheque to clear.

Right cheques cleared. Insurance is arranged (£1200) not bad considering I'm 22 and no "no claims bonus"

Going to Cambridge services to collect and then driving back to Colchester 11:00 so if you’re in the area keep an eye out for a coupe with Reg L3 TUR and a guy driving with a stupid grin.

Oh and a grumpy looking old man in a Skoda Octavia (my dad) who had to drive me up there in the first place

Good luck and check the oil!

Stan, did you not see my recent post. It's safer not to check the oil!

Once I figure out how to get the bonnet open! Must double check what oil he used in it.

Maybe someone should make a mod so you can see your oil level in the car through a window in the dash

That's scary talk that is......have you seen Carl with an angle grinder walking towards the feebles who failed to check their oil

No, but at least they didn't forget to put the oil cap back on!
lol!

I bet Carlt isn't really that scary!

Hmm well clearly I can't comment, however here's a picture of Carlt from the last Coupe meet he attended:

and that was him on a good day!

Morning Alistair, be prepared to visit the petrol station a STUPID amount of times! I've had mine since monday and put £70 in so far! Loved every min so far........let us know how the journey home goes!
