The roof carries the Vans 'Checkerboard' design while the front grille and side steps echo the brand's 'Waffle Sole' motif. Other exterior features include a rather unusual front end with four circular air intakes, along with two-tone paint, 18-inch matt black alloy wheels and a roof rack incorporating a double deck surfboard carrier. Upholstery is vintage palm-patterned canvas with the Waffle Sole design making further appearances on the pedals and in the interior storage bins. The dashboard gets a colourful finish courtesy of a selection of Vans stickers.
Anything else?
The Vans Open of Surfing is a nine-day celebration of surfing, BMX and skateboarding. Fiat is one of the event's sponsors, hence the creation of this concept. There's no word on whether a production version is in the pipeline but it is known that Fiat will build a crossover version of the 500L.
