182 Arctic Blue

[specialK]

I have to say, having seen one of these today in the dealer there is nobody on this earth that would tell the difference between this colour and the Cup blue - Mondial !!

If you want a Cup coloured 182 this is the one to go for.

well im off to trade in my 172.. bye..

I saw my first 182 today on the M1 near Nottingham, and I think it was in Racing Blue (the non metallic one). Looked very nice and although a similar blue to the cup, it did look a noticabley different shade.

That would be the Arctic blue then.

Yes, I think it is too close to the cup blue. But Renault have a habit of annoying previous buyers (see Williams)

I think thye realised a strong selling point of the Cup was the colour. I bet 90% of the 182s they sell will now be that colour.

But wont that have the Cup owners up in arms. How dare they copy such a motoring legend.

So if I have a blue Cup/182 behind me I wont be able to tell unless one of them decides to wash his headlamps ?

His Xenon headlamps.

Yup. Until you see them side on and notice the 4X4 wheels the 182 has.

 

[dk]

you will notice it by the twin exhausts as it will already be in front and you wont have to look in you rear view

 

[D-CUP]

Unless your already in a cup wherby the 182 will struggle to keep up.

From what i have heard from this website and dealer the majority of 182s that ave been orered are Black Gold or Silver.

 

[specialK]

dealer I know says different - black gold are not being ordered but the arctic blue is.

 

[RS182]

it seems to me like a ot of people have ordered black gold, when i ordered mine there was alot of black gold and silver ones ordered, maybe that has changed since then i did order it in january.

The Cup/Artic/VTS blue is so last year. The Titatium is coming around again for another try at the rusty spots.

The Black/gold is new and today. Get with the times people.

 

[Dash]

Oh.

Yup a big fat ole Saxo. As I was saying.

 

[Slugger]

That would be Illiad Blue then

 

[silvagti]

Im sure Renault is having a laugh. Is it just me or do Illiad, Arctic and Mondial Blue all look exactly the same shade

Not that Im complaining as I think they all look really smart ( as well as looking much the same)

 

[geordiepaul]

Must admit that blue looks very boring now!! Just seen it so much with all those fooking cups on the road!

 

[D-CUP]

Yeah, most new 182s and V6s will be in the blue. Ill be getting a black V6.
