182 Petrol Blue....... what do u think

[Zonda]

Hi Folks, I have a Petrol Blue 182 lined up to buy... does anyone have any pics of a Petrol Blue 182? Its like a flip green/blue colour... looking forward to that as it is different.. and is in A1 condition... (as I have been reliably informed from a good friend). Are there many other Petrol Blue 182's in the club?

One in the club I think, has some non-standard wheels. Very very few of these about, only 9 ever sold compared to 34 for the other I.D colour (Liquid Yellow).

They look gorgeous imo, only ever seen one in the metal.

Where did you find one of them for sale?

One of the members on here has loads of pics of petrol blue 182's, but i cannot remember his user name.

Yup, 9 Petrol Blue confirmed by Renault, can't remember the Liquid Yellow number, 34 rings a bell..?

Thanks guys! thats cool they are so rare! I was about to get an Inferno, but now I've bought this one! as its rarer.. its thru a good friend that told me before it came on the market! The Yellow looks stunning too...but a bit too bright for me.

Thanks for the link! Thats quite a lot extra for i.d paint, so the reason why not many have the i.d colours. With the sun on it, should flip around a bit.

[The Bear]

Thought eeugghhh at first glance but I quite like it now, especially the flip green shining through.

 

[Ad]

Great colour... seen one once in the flesh.

 

[Rich]

Rare as!

Seen it on the 182 and a Espace.

I must say I dont like it myself.

 

[Thomss]

Rare, but not for me.

 

[Zonda]

Its good to see some pics, I am going for some of these as well... just to be different (well not that different) but I know it will look even better with these..

lovely colour,saw on the allvehicle site lastnite that steve had a petrol blue 182 for sale soon.

 

[makavelli]

glad you got a 182 and hope you enjoy!

colour aint to my taste tho

 

[Scott]

D4ve's isn't petrol blue.

Edit: Forgot to say, love the petrol blue :approve:

 

[Phil 182]

love that colour!

as much as i love my black gold 182 id rather have petrol blue or liquid yellow!!!

 

[Ali]

Beautiful shade

 

[Mark J]

yep, superb colour, suprising only 9 were made really since so many people seem to like it. I was also suprised reading that only 34 liquid yellows were made! thought there would be alot more than that.

 

[Blue4Ever]

Love It!!

 

[R20 CWH]

there you go - not my cup of tea

 

[Mark J]

those pictures dont really do it justice though compared to the ones Rich posted?

Ive seen one about, someone who works at Renault in Barwell (leics) owned one, think he has sold it now

 

[R20 CWH]

^^ yeh, but just goes to show that when its not sunny outside and cleaned up to the max, it does look fairly 'bland' i think is the nicest way i can put it.

 

[Rich]

In reality the above pictures are what its going to look like most of the time over here

I saw a Petrol Blue 182 at Reg Vardy Livingston (I'm sure it was the one in the pics) and in the sun it is a stunning colour imo. I'd have one as it is so rare.

correcto.

i guess so. when my car is clean its stunning, but 2 days later, when all the dust and sh*t off the roads is all over it, it looks dull.

 

[al]

Petrol blue is mmmmmmmm lurrrrvely!!

 

[Josh27]

Very nice colour IMO. The rareness is a bonus too. Go for it.

 

[Batman]

my cousin has a bland blue 172 is that petrol blue? i told him it looks crap black all the way baby

 

[lewisniven]

nah the 172 never came in petrol blue.

its a ice colour when its all shiny, but in reality, it not that special, its appeal is its rareness. liquid yellow is where its at.

How many people would specify petrol blue on thier 182 were it a standard finish colour?

 

[R20 CWH]

it was ID paint so a £1150 option, id go for liquid yellow.

Get the proper trophy wheels from renault tho dude, dont work out that dear, but have correct offset and centrecaps etc, will look better, rather than the speedline ones.

good info... cheers mate. I thought they were the same as the Trophy ones? I will go to Reno..

 

[Zonda]

I've got to know the guys at Reno well with my 5GTT, so should get a good discount with any luck.
