o diamond-effect 17-inch BeBop aluminium alloy wheels with the choice of black or blue inserts,
o ‘Gordini Series’ badging on the body sides,
o Malte Blue rear spoiler,
o satin-finish chrome side air extractors.
· The Gordini touch is very visible inside the car, too, thanks to its striking blue and black interior trim:
o blue and black leather* Gordini-embossed upholstery,
o leather-trimmed** steering wheel: upper part in blue, with two white stripes
indicating the straight-ahead position,
