Evo mag 182 dilemma - the solution.

[NickM5c]

I bought one.

 

[Tom]

Good lad.

 

[NickM5c]

Thought you would approve.

 

[dk]

what colour and options and where from?

 

[NickM5c]

Arctic blue with both the cup options. Getting it from Renault Enfield next month.

 

[Tom]

Really? who did you deal with?

Got mine from them.

I like that colour after seeing it in Evo, am a little anxious now about racing blue as the only photo I can find of it is the back corner next to a Meganne 225!

I went to infant school with the salesman funnily enough and had not seen him since i left!!! I was tempted with the racing blue colour its not matallic though so it may affect the price of the car later on but it is nice though.

 

[Tom]

Was that danny?

 

[NickM5c]

No he is called Nick.

 

[Tom]

Nick? must be a new bloke.

cool

 

[NickM5c]

Delete some of your pms "you have exceeded your limit" apparently.

 

[Tom]

done

 

[NickM5c]

What colour you going for tom?

 

[Neil82]

Nick how old is ur 172 and what mileage?

Dealers now have colour samples for all the colours. The Artic Blue is very close to the Mondial Blue. Racing Blue is similar to the non-metallic blue that was used on the Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo a few years ago - its the sort of colour youll love or hate !

 

[NickM5c]

Neil i got my 172 in may last year and its done 4200 miles. Got it from a car supermarket so it is an import.

 

[Neil82]

How much is it costing to swap?

Aaaah... the gentlemans choice!

Got EVO today and also like that colour. The two cars on the first page of the article (or one car from both ends, as they have the same plate) look completely different colours and the one on the right looks at first like it may be the Racing Blue as everyone thought from the scans. In fact it looks different in every picture and very different to the Arctic Blue pics I have seen elsewhere, much darker, but nothing like the back end in Daves pic. Very frustrating not seeing a Racing Blue one.

Too late now anyway Racing Blue it is going to be. From that small glimpse in your pic Dave, It looks like it could be nice. Must get a decent pic before it arrives.

 

[TheCake]

Yes how much is your 182 Cup/how mcuh you getting on trade in?

 

[paddymph]

Racing blue similar to this then?:

its got to be the black/gold or if not that the silver.although i havent seen the 182 in silver on a proper photograph nor the black/gold.they gotta look good.

 

[NickM5c]

The black gold sample i looked at in the dealer just looked black to me. I was expecting to see flecks of gold in it. Perhaps it will be different "in the flesh" so to speak.

hope I love it then, - too late now anyway! (at this stage I dont care what it looks like, I just want to get my hands on it, Ive waited ssooooooo long!)

 

[NickM5c]

You wont be disappointed Dave it is a nice colour and suits the car, especially with the dark wheels.

 

[D-CUP]

Its way too similar to Cup blue I think.

 

[NickM5c]

Thats no bad thing, the cup colour is cool but i know what you are saying. Its a shame the orange/yellow is not available (yet?) that would be something different.
