Yeh it's the Autoglym one - not heard of having to wait for a week for it to cure - they cure within a couple of hours normally, and polish off within the year!!
Would have been better off investing in some Collinite wax tbh

White cars, imo:
Washing: Something off the shelf like Megs Gold Class Shampoo (using two bucket method and washmitt of course!)
Dry: Using waffle weave drying cloth / ultra plush terry towel
Polish: Dodo Juice Lime Prime - shouldn't need too much polishing right now, and Lime Prime has a small amount of cut to it and brings a really nice sharp finish to it.
Sealant: Poorboys EX-P / Chemical Guys Jetseal 109
Wax: Dodo Juice White Diamond / Collinite 476s

There was a £250 option for two tone wheels.. but i didnt really like them that much and the roof and rear tints cost enough... glad i chose them though.. helps break up the white alot..
A couple of people on the the fiat forum have fitted a vinyl to the bit of the bumper between the grilles... looks pretty good so i might do that
as for wheels.. when i can afford im thinking of a euro look.. something with a nice dish.. Keskin KT4's are a maybe..
The standard wheels on it though atm are 17's though

Its not shy performance wise.. 1.4 petrol turbo
I know what you saying though.. does look very normal atm.. needs lowering and new wheels and then maybe a bit of toying with
I did try to fit Seicento abarth centre wheel badges but i couldnt get the fiat ones out

it flicks up when the roof is fully open as the roof slides up over the rear roof section.. also has two inner curtains.. bit strange as the rear roof glass is fixed.
i never realised this when ordering.. i assumed it was just like a panoramic roof
