I got the aerial from eBay, the one that comes with the car is not very pretty IMO. If you want the link I can find it for you. I haven't tested it's reception yet, but will let you know
Cool! Seeing yours is making me so excited and I haven't even ordered it yet! Gonna get the Up Black with all the packs and accessories except the sunroof... I don't like the sun (ironic considering I have an EOS!)...
Anyway, SO EXCITED!!! Planning to order it Sunday... Fingers crossed!
There he is, and how gorgeous. Do you know, the black is really starting to grow on me and I love the leatherette seats. Those door sill trims are very, very classy too.
How was the unveiling, did they give you flowers, champagne, chocolates? And how was the drive home? Bet you've got the biggest smile on your face right now.
Enjoy your little jaunt tonight & lets see more pics soon
There's my bro!! Congratulations bugbabe on receiving your up! (I really think the up in black with the chrome added really does look the best)!
The differences from mine that I can spot are the nice little personal touches (mine is still 'as received'), the leatherette seats and the lack of parking sensors suggests you didn't opt for the sensor pack.
I am still torn between the leatherette and stripes! Obviously I love my stripes but your leatherette is also very pleasing to the eye! How are you finding them? My concerns were that they could get a bit sticky in the heat and I was also worried that if any of my passengers had 'elaborate' trowsers with zips, studs etc. that the seats could get damaged. I guess only time will tell and a voice in the back of my head has always said that surely all car seats are tested for durability one way or another so my above fears are probably irrelevant.
Anyhow, yes, leatherette looks fantastic - the white stitching and piping really set them apart!
I'm very pleased with how our door trims look. Like you, I wasn't expecting them! Now you have the car, would you say that they are nicer than the other ones which you had planned to go for?
Just before I go (realised I'm waffling on a bit), what do you think of the wheels now you've seen them in the flesh? I was pleasantly surprised and now wouldn't dream of changing them - had lots of positive comments about them from friends and passers by too!
Right, that's enough from me. Welcome to the up! Black family and hope you enjoy it as much as I've been enjoying mine!
If I'm not mistaken, they come as standard on the up! black and up! white. That's how I ended up with the sill trims bugbabe pre-emptively bought before she knew this (they look pretty good too BTW but nowhere near as nice as hers).
