182 - What Colour

[rayrob]

Hi all,

Just went down to the local garage and ordered a 182 (which i cant wait for!)

Im unsure about the colour that i want though. I picked Artic Blue when confronted with the paint swatches, but im having doubts.

Does anyone have photos of their 182 (all colours welcome) so that i can get a feel for the colour on the car, not just on the poxy 4"x3" swatch.

Cheers

Look good in titanium, thats the one Im thinking of going for. Are they only available in 4 colours - titanium, black gold, artic blue and racing blue?

the sirius yellow looks amazing, its an extra 1100 tho !!

Id have black gold but im biased

Have a look at Racing Blue, some good pictures in EVO this month complete with Stripe. Thats the colour I have ordered mine in, but am still undecided on stripe (but will not pay reno £300+ for it, will see a signwriter)

I like the idea of black but do you find that it gets and looks dirty quickly?

dave182, have you considered stripes??? Am showing EVO car to everyone I know to gauge a reaction, am split at the moment!!!!

same here Mr, some like it others dont. the thing is unless you know about renault heritage, the stripes mean nothing and just look like a set of random stripes. i also think they may draw too attention to the car and get it either keyed or every man and his dog out to get you, i sometimes prefer being in stealth (not sure thats possible with my colour and twin exhausts!) but with stripes you will stand out a mile.

I think I am too scared of someone doing something to the car to have them done even though I love them, am still waiting to see them in the flesh though and I know they are having one at the motorshow so I will see it then.

The Jury is still out....

ive seen the black and arctic blue both with cup spec and the blue gets my vote the wheels seem to go with it

i cudnt decide between the black and titanium but in the end chosen the black cos u jus cant go wrong with black and it beats every colour wen clean.why do they call it black gold?anybody

 

[stevedines]

good choice, same colour as mine. Called black gold as there is flecks of gold behind the black. Be warned though, it needs to be cleaned too often.

Went for Racing Blue. Not the nicest Blue on the market today but, black is a real pain in the backside and silver will devalue the car -( not a diss at silver cars, but there are too many of them and the trade is paying less for them now from what Ive heard)

Renault could show a little more innovation with colours IMHO

chins, thought you went for the metallic artic blue?

 

[stevedines]

silver devaluing? i am in the trade and its still as strong as ever. But as you say there are a few too many about. I just did not want a car to look like everyone elses. providing i keep it polished, it looks fantastic.

OK. Ive had a bottle of the finest from Threshers. My Artic blue can be seen running all the red lights in High Wycombe !!
