Artic Blue

[Scott 3]

What do you think of this colour?! Is it very similar to the Clio Cup blue/Clio V6 Blue??? Just about to order my 182 and want to make the right choice in terms of colour!

 

[RS182]

Arctic Blue is the colour to go for, especially if they are bringing out the limited edition 182 in Racing Blue and that red colour.

yeah I went for the artic blue, pearl illusion and no more extra ££. it was either that or the yellow.

Its great you can look at in in one light and it looks purple and in other lights it looks a turqoisey colour, best colour i think.

i was unsure about the colour of my cup initially. i absolutely love it now especially when polished. Artic blue is v. similar so I think looks equally as good. Iain Cs looks great with the gordini stripes aswell!

Just so Im not getting confused, I want the blue that is more like an electric blue as appose to the light sky blue colour. Which is Artic and which is Racing Blue?

Yeah, the Mondial Blue of the Cup and Arctic blue look almost the same in some lights, but the Arctic is pearlescent which makes it look different colours in different lights.

Heres a Cup and 182 side by side looking almost identical. http://www.leemather.plus.com/cliosport/drive250604/Link

Racing Blue is a solid Super Gloss colour. Heres Dave182s car: http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1078582900__DSC01344.jpgLink

cheers for that Lee. Artic Blue looks awesome. Will be ordering one with the Cup Susp and Spoiler pack tom.

 

[Lee]

No probs. You wont be disappointed by the fun factor.

 

[CocoPops]

Good choice.

I too have an Artic Blue with both cup packs.

They guys are right about it "changing" colour, it has a very subtle flip to it.

Not what it says on that renault thing Lee posted?

 

[Lee]

Shes right you know (for a change). On all the Renault paperwork when ordering the car its down as Artic, but its actually Arctic.

the brochures i looked at when picking my colour and looking on the chart spelt it artic blue, but ive looked at the new brochures and its spelt arctic blue.

they prob changed it now, i always thought it was a daft way to spell it.

 

[ChrisO182]

[Mat-182]

the french translation when the 182 was announced had it spelt artic but then renault UK called it Arctic, but both are used on ordering forms etc.

Oh and Racing Blue is the best Blue!
