    NO, the red paint was even more. There was NO free flat paint, that is why I am asking if it is legal.

    Does it come with wheels or are they extra too?

    Please go on the site and check again, too many posters are sensationalising a situation on which they have either fabricated or only seeing what they want to see.
    There are two reds, Flame red is a no cost option, force red is a +£500 option

    The spare probably is if you want one. Otherwise one of those useless foamy inflator jobs that will not work if you've split the tyre on one of our many potholes. What use is that on a wet cold dark night in the middle of nowhere?

    And the extra cost of certain paints is rip off too. The cost should just be the additional over and above what the basic paint job costs. Another great example of profiteering.

    As above by DUTR, flame red = £0, force red = £500

    Have a look at the car configurator tool on their website

    It was you that 1st pointed it out in post#2, so I'm not sure why the OP is still harping about it , after it has been pointed out to them.

    If you don't mind being seen driving a Fiat, it won't bother you being seen driving a yellow car. :D

    Yep. I didn't mind paying £500 for a better spec model, but there was no way I was paying £350 just to have it painted a different colour.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
