Pecularities:

- Color black metallic, Fiat color code 813
- green tinted windows all around
- Bumpers chromium plated
- Interior, seats and parts of the inner door panels Alcantara (fake suede); there are
  some differences between the picture in the sales brochure and my Lido. I think
 that Fiat changed the layout of the seats while producing the car.
