Top down or ground up? If you're going to launch an over-the-top design statement, you'd better to both. So, hot on the tails of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/06/fenice-milanos-rolls-royce-ghost-diva-makes-mansory-look-tast/">Diva edition Rolls-Royce Ghost</a>, Fenice Milano has released a similar treatment for the far more humble <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/fiat+500c">Fiat 500C</a> called La Dolce Vita.<br />
<br />
Like the Diva, the Dolce Vita is dominated by more gold trim than one might expect to see in an entire Mansory showroom. 24 karat, no less. Fenice has also tweaked the titchy Cinquicento's mechanical bits with an ECU reflash, new intake and exhaust systems and some suspension tweaks, the latter presumably to compensate for the extra weight of all that bling. Inside, the open-air cabin has been redone in teak, gold and leather, with a redesigned dashboard incorporating a rather <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mini">Mini</a>-like oversized central gauge. Details in the press release after the jump, high-res photos in the gallery below.<br />
