I'd hazard a guess and say some muppet took a MiTo and had it painted it in the worst colour blue imaginable

Nope...

It was made with the car when it first came out. The colour lasted about a year before it was discontinued. There are probably only a handfull of Mitos with this colour that people bought. Was also offered as a very similar colour on the Fiat GP for the first year of its life also.


It does actually look pretty reasonable in real life. But there are better colours.

Actually I quite like it.

Don't take it to heart - 996 is our resident grumpy monkey

Although i'm with him on this to some extent - don't think it looks to flattering on the mito

Very much like Gabbiano blue commonly found on 156 GTA and GTs

Correct, it was listed as Blue ( Code 437 ) in the brochure.

Also available on the 147, F/L 156 & F/L 147, it doesn't always look great in pics but does look good in the metal

There was one 8C in that colour wasnt there?

[NeCa]

It's not too bad.

It just looks, I dunno, a little too sensible for a MiTo?

That colour on your Grandad's Focus, sure.

I believe in providing facts other than inaccurate info, opinions or guesses especially in Tech threads


A car's life or it's occupant's life could depend on it

I saw a Mito of that colour with tan leather just this week. Looked pretty good I thought.

A tech thread on a forum is just that , not a replacement for a technician and important though it may be (ahem to some) noone was ever killed by the colour of a car! Lol

[David P]

I never suggested this was a Tech thread or that any info provided within could cause risk to Mito or life


I didn't think I'd have to explain that it wasn't either
