Milan, 16th December 2015 GARAGE ITALIA CUSTOMS AND FIAT IN THE FIRST ROW AT THE STAR WARS EUROPEAN PREMIERES

After presenting the 500e Stormtrooper at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Garage Italia Customsplays a main role again in an important promotional campaign for Fiat. The occasion is the launch ofthe seventh episode of the Star Wars saga.To celebrate the arrival of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on screens all over Europe, FCA hasin fact decided to “invade” premieres in Spain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, UK and Turkey with12 cars identical to the 500e Stormtrooper. Moreover, two of the models that will be presentedare dedicated to the drones starring in the film, R2-D2 e BB-8, together with a tailor-made 500Stormtrooper in a world preview for the showing in Switzerland.Lapo Elkann’s creative hub, which specializes in complete tailor-made customization, has thusproduced 12 wrapping kits to replicate the varnished livery of the original concept in every detail.The kits were sent to the relative specialists in the countries involved in the initiative. Their packagingwas personalised and with them came a precise set of instructions with detailed graphics. Theseelements once again highlight the Garage Italia Customs desire for perfection and care for detailin every area.The Garage Italia Customs Style Centre, in addition to creating the liveries inspired by the twodrones, truly wanted to characterise the exteriors of the cars with a “damage” effect, in orderto reproduce the signs of time and galactic battles. The Garage Maestros have hence been ableto express their abilities at their best, making a unique painting for the two models dedicated toSwitzerland. The spectacular result was obtained with an innovative aerography technique and a final3D embossed opaque finishing which conveys strong sensations on touch.The livery of the BB-8 continues on the windows, too, thanks to the use of a special “one-way”tinted film. In fact, the particular micro-pierced structure of the film itself makes it possible to seethrough the painting as if it were not there at all, consenting a vision that is the same as that oftraditional tinted film.The R2-D2 is instead characterised by 100% tinted film and “one-way” film on the panoramic sunroof.The cabin of the two cars recalls the same design elements found in the 500e Stormtrooper, i.e. theFoglizzo leather and Alcantara® covered seats with colours matching the external livery: white andorange for the BB-8 and white and blue for the R2-D2.Moreover, we find the same care for detail even on the headrests, with their embroidered logos,and on the steering wheel, which is upholstered in Foglizzo leather and Alcantara® with contrastingstitching. Hand-done aerography has been used on the entire dashboard to result in the same“damage” effect of the external body, reproducing the wear and tear of the armours of the twodrones. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens logo is easily recognisable on the passenger’s side. Thedashboard and the instrument cluster are instead upholstered in Foglizzo leather and Alcantara®with contrasting stitching. Finally, the designers of the Garage Italia Customs Style Centre havechosen Alcantara® to complete the upholstery of the headliner and every detail of the cabin.
