Clio Blues

[Mindfreak80]

Just how many different shades of blue are there? And how rare are they? I've got an Ottoman Blue and I rarely hear any mention of that

Mines D48 nautical blue .

Had it 15 years tommrow

 

[Mindfreak80]

Blimey! Mine turns 14 tomorrow, coincidentally, though I've only had it about a year. Might have to sacrifice it if its garage trip on Thursday ends up being too expensive; I've got a suspected clutch issue and a definite exhaust hole somewhere

Mines not short of it problems these days.

Its on light duty these days . Ferrys me and the dog to work and back .
Still rember driving it out the showroom after waiting 3 months for it .

Had a lot of cars in the 15 years but always refused to get rid of the old relyable girl . Still is apart from the misfireing uphill lol

Bless, mine's mostly a get-around but I need it to get between uni and home for holidays etc, I've racked up a good 8000 miles on the poor boy this past year alone. He's had his fair share of bizarre issues (engine sensor went literally the day after I bought him, had to replace the button for the hazard lights as the original one was glued in for some reason) but other than my current issues he's running okay. Though my front fog lights have never worked, recently went to change the bulbs and it seems to actually be an electrical fault, so god knows what's up with that

Thread needs pics. I've a blue 1.2 in the heard, no idea what blue it is though.

Check the sticker in the driver's side door, it says the code there. I'll attach a pic of mine later, though I know my code is i45. In the mean time, here's my ottoman blue after a good wash in the sun

 

[Clio_fool]

I checked all the s**t shuts looking for tyre pressures last week and theres no stickers on it at all. It needs a fair bit of touching up, one lady owner, always garaged. Yeah it was tight in the garage! She was 85 though!

 

[Mindfreak80]

My best guess is Illiad blue so far, though I'll have to look into it further. Shame about the lack of stickers, the last owner probably removed them for safe keeping or something bless

 

[Clio_fool]

I think it's more likely it want ever fitted. There's no sign of one having been removed and the car has only ever had paid for hand washes. It's not a pretty sight?. I'll get around to it sometime, need to get my 182 clean for show season. (I've said that the last 3 years?)

 

[Mindfreak80]

Possibly, I think it's a similar case with my foglights. Ooh you've got multiple? I've only got the one, but in fairness I've only been driving a year

[Mindfreak80]

Oh lordy that's a lot! Surely those aren't all Clio MK2 colours though? And how rare are they all? I know petrol blue is the all time rarest with Clios but aside from that I'm clueless

It won't be illiad blue as that only came on the v6's.

 

[Mindfreak80]

Ah fair, in that case I'm not sure. It's the same colour as a few other Clios I see around town but I don't know any of the drivers personally to ask, and I don't think any are on here

Looks like Nautilus blue that mate.

I thought that too?

Surely Midnight Blue is the rarest in that list above. Wasn't there only one V6 registered in that colour?

It's actually Moonlight Blue and yeah it was a V6 colour as well as a Megane 225 colour.

 

[cat171]

Yep. A woman from RUK had it.
