[Lee]

No probs.

Yep, Ive said before they dont do a bad colour on it.

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

Its got pics of all the colours of the 172. Go for the blue cos theyre the best.. and also cos ive got one.

 

[Lee]

None of those pics are too good. I used a DV camera. Ill take some better ones for the members section.

 

[McBunny]

they say red is the fastest but it also has magnetic paint that attracts armco lol

 

[steve_g]

that site shows some nice pictures. i did want silver but loads of cars on the roads are silver. i think i want the dark blue now

 

[RobFenn]

About 98% of cars now seem to be silver!

Sometimes I have to park my cool black 172 on our high street in the middle of a line of silver cars just to break up the colour a bit.

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! Blue would be a welcome change!

 

[Lee]

Apparently more blue cars are sold than any other colour. But heres my odd thinking about this. There are loads of different shades of blue, so you dont notice it so much. Where as silver is silver. It cant be another shade, or its no longer silver!!

Or am I just being odd

Cheers Rob. I really should get some decent ones taken. Ill do it when I can put them in the members area.

BTW, I thought silver was the fastest colour?

 

[tumbleweed]

yes but silver 172s are stopped less by police because they merge in with all the other silver clios around

 

[Dash]

Yes thats why I went for silver, didnt want to look out of place cause Im shy.

I had the same problem buying mine... I actually ordered the blue one first and then changed it the next day to black!

Youd think choosing a colour would be a simple thing but it certainly isnt - or at least it wasnt for me!

I decided not to go for silver right from the start because I wanted people to be able to see the 2.0 16v badges down the side

I figured black would look best when polished up...the blue just always seemed to look ok.

If I were you, Id go to one of these car import places when they get a fresh order of Clio Sports in and take a look properly. The pictures never seem to show the true colours!

[ClioJohn]

silver looks the best there, still cant beat black though

 

[Daz]

of course you can beat black..

... by getting a BLUE car!

 

[Lee]

Nice picture Paddy, but I dont think he wants to buy a converted barn

[Edit] Oooops its finally finished loading, there are cars at the bottom of it. Dont you just love 56k

I really do like the blue and red.

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

blue blue blue!! if you go to a car supermarket.. just be careful of the Cup Blue.. one look at that and you wont get any other car than the Cup...

 

[damo16v]

i think the willy looks the best in that pic

 

[steve_g]

iv been in my mates cup a few times and i actually prefer the 172

 

[GR7]

As one or two have said YOU CANT BEAT BLACK it suits every car.

Perhaps this will help you to make up your mind!

[Cheeky_Chappie]

GR.... yes you can... the Blue one beats it....

 

[Hippychick]

Thank god Im not the only one having trouble deciding what colour to have

Im still in that Blue/Black

Black/Black Blue/Black place

 

[Chris1986]

I think the red looks well nice. Thats what im getting anyway

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

Hey hippychick.. Theres more black than blue... BLUE BLUE I say.

Look in to my eyes.....you feel all quesey(?)now.... Its BLUE you want.. BLUE is the best!!!.....<snaps his fingers> wake up!

The flame red looks "FADED"

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

have you seen Blue? that doesnt fade!!

 

[Chris1986]

This red one is gorgeous, stolen from TonyKLs site....this is flame red, right?

 

[Cheeky_Chappie]

Chris1986,

No, chris... that red has a special name. When you come to order it at Renault its called "Monaco Blue".. I know it sounds odd... but it really is a red colour, honest!

 

[Chris1986]

Heh, i saw a Monaco blue the other day....it seemed pretty boring, and didnt stand out at all. Maybe it was just dirty, but i want something more original

 

[Lee]

Cheeky, he wants a red one. Keep the blue that little bit more exclusive

[Edit] No car looks good dirty, especially a dark metalic blue. Ive had loads of people comment on what a nice colour mine is. Theyve never bothered with any of my previous cars.

 

[Jonathan]

You can argue about colour all day ! Choose what you like the best !
