Clio 138 - What Colour

[ChorleyFM]

I'm pretty much settled about gettin a new car. Initially i was swaying towards Honda but i've been pulled back to Renault by the Clio 138. I physically cannot afford insurance on an RS, but i'm more than happy with the performace the 138 has...

I'm undecided on what colour though... i went to the stealers today and i really like the new colour they have for the 138 called Nocturne it is kind of like a deep purple, the only other colour im considering is pearl black but i just dont know... so i cast the vote to you guys.

Here are some pics to help...

They aren't the best but i hope you can help.

Here is the current shed in it original (nearly) form...

Thanks
Oli

No you can have any colour but its only available on the 138 nothing else, i would like to see one in ice blue lowered

 

[ChrisPearson]

o yeh thats it!Wel not that colour its ugly!

looks cool

what about the red RS 197 next to it hehe

Insurance is about £1700 on the RS's which i cannot justify on a Clio. Especailly as its going to cost me over a thousand every 12months for a good few years.

I think this is a nice compramise, it a pokey engine and i think it looks smart too, especailly with the renault styling pack upgrades.

I've looked at that colour in the sun now and im not as impressed as i was, looks a little 'girly' for a better word.

Maybe pearl black, also i'm liking some of the blues. Especially the ottoman.

£1700 will be more like £900 the next year.

CTR for me is £2100, like a mad man I am actually considering it.. Need a rethink me thinks.

Yeah, thats shed loads. I could justify spending the extra money on the car. To me insurance is just dead money, at least with the car its a money pit but it's there to enjoy.

Heres the wifes 138, xenons and pearl black, biggest mistake was not having cruise control, its so relaxed at m/way speeds it tends to creep up to 95 mph to easy and quiet for my liking

 

[Christopher]

^^that spec is perfect, bar the cruise control.

i would go for that.

Looks nice.

Good to see the Mk III's suffer from rusty brake discs too.

 

[lemonnobby]

the rust on the discs is because its got water on them
