2005 clio - How many blacks?

[Asylum_Audio]

Hi all, im looking at getting hold of an 05 renault clio (its the one with the triangle lights, think mk2 but the newer out the two)...

Its got a damaged bonnet, and im looking at getting a replacement...

Ive not actually bought the car yet, as the owner is in the process of removing a private plate, so ive been looking around for a better bonnet, and ive stumbled across one, or so i think.

The owner of the car has told me the colour is pearl metalic black..

Are there any other types of black which renault use? and if so, is there any way of telling this colour of black, from another?

I know the colour of the car im collecting, but not of the replacment bonnet (which has now been removed from the car at the breakers yard)..

Its priced at £50 so dont know wether to just take a gamble..

The black your after is pearl black.

The only other black is black gold which is only used on Black gold 182s

Or Deep Black on newer Renaults - which it is unlikely to be, therefore yes, Pearl Black is the one you're after and what a replacement bonnet will be.

Yes as long as you dont get it off of a 182

The black your after is pearl black.

The only other black is black gold which is only used on Black gold 182s

And V6s. Incidentally the cheapest body panel on the car.

You need Black Pearl/Pearl Black. Easily found. Black Gold is distinguishable by it's gold flake:

I am not actually sure what colour my 200 black is... I am sure it called it metallic black on the options list?
