Is it me or is RB more of a colour for the 18-22 year olds?

Or is it ok for someone over 25 to enjoy and own a RB?

I say... YES it is ok for the oldies!!! check these pictures out that i have stolen from the RS forum. Makes me want to get an RB again.

I used to love how easily the RB would come up looking so nice after a wash. an effortless colour to keep looking good.

orange possible...but as you get older you get more boring so prob best silver :p hehe. Why does it matter what people think anyway? Just go for what you like imo

Is that a fact? What is old in your eyes? 25?:(

Im 31 (admittedly I look about 24) and I don't feel out of place driving an RB. :D

I want a minty one :D

197 seems way more grown up than a 182... not too old for one of those!
And I heart the RB easy clean.

how do you mean grown up?

like 197 is an Adults car and the 182 not so?

I suppose because of the new shape? I don't really know how to explain it...but it wasn't meant badly!

Maybe cause in my area there's so many teenagers in clios? Me included.

It's fine for under-35's IMO... any further over that and it's a bit OTT

I'm surprised they don't make the 197 in beige ;)

I guess it is a young colour as its a bit attention seeking (ignoring the so called heritage behind it...). I guess if i was over 30 i wouldn't have it, same with the yellow.

Can you really order those Porsche colours from the factory, or Cup racers only?

think 40 and under any clio is fine, older looks a bit odd but each to their own. If they enjoy driving a clio fair play!

It's toughy.... I'd say any Older than 30 and I'd just hope not to be still driving a Clio at all TBH

I see a Guy who is about 40 something in a RB 182 Cup around my way and he doesn't look odd in it though.

Some of these comments are ridiculous. The only person that looks rediculous in an RB 182 is Jeremy Clarkson. I will own mine until it dies on the track one day. Oh I'm old, better get a black car. Maybe an Austin Allegro estate in an off white, bone, beige, creamy brownie colour with beaded seat covers and a traffic light air freshner.


I work with a guy who has just bought a Smart Crossblade (google it) and he is 41. This is a car with no roof, doors and it's November AND he is 6'3. Looks like a right numpty but he loves it!!!

Ageist FTL!!!
 
I think its a gawjus colour but I do think that it is for younger people xXx

lol, hardly a massive differnce in age 22 to 25?

I do agree though. I really used to like it, but after viewing a couple in the metal when I was buying mine I went off it.

Same as LY. Gone off that.
