Flame Red Difference???

[Flamered12]

Is the flame red paint the same on a dynamique as it is on a sport?

 

[Pete_br]

yep it is best colour there is

 

[Flamered12]

Yes someone else agrees! I was just chatting to a couple of peeps who have been somehow misled into thinking black or yellow are the best, and that flame red dynamics are more orange than flame reds sports?!

No - i'm pretty sure flame red only came on 172's, i'm sure the dynamique colour is different (a fair few shades in fact)
We have a flame red 172.

 

[Flamered12]

I'l try and gets some good daylight pics up on this thread tomorrow, well 2day now i guess...Dam this site's addictive!!

 

[cat171]

Flame red

 

[Flamered12]

Thanks for that, though its hard to tell, it looks the same to me in your pic? like I said, i'll get some daytime pics and stick 'em on, after i've given her a long awaited clean n gleam

 

[Rick]

I've always felt that the dynamique colour looked different as well. Hard to tell tho as the shade of the Flame Red colour on mine changes with the light.

Is the red on the Dynamique metallic?

We have a flame red 172.

thankyou!

 

[paddymph]

when i first got my 172, the flame red was unique to that model.
then they stuck it on a laguna and some of the other clio's too, its not that rare now.
best colour still tho!

 

[Flamered12]

Yea its metallic, as you said, the shade does change alot in the light, so we may not be able to conclude this one just through pics!!! so me thinks a meet is required, only thing is, i'm pretty new to the site, only spoken to the kent rep a couple of times and he's out of action coz of his car:dapprove: maybe i'll pull up next to a sport at my local dealer ( if they have one) i'm goin that way today anyhow, i'll get a pic then if i can?

I was under the impression the only 172 colour offered on other models was pearl black. Unless they later changed this and Flame red is now available on all models. IIRC the only 182 colour you can get on other models is inferno (mainly on clio extremes) but i could be wrong.

 

[Anni182]

i don't like that orangey colour on extremes, is that inferno?

 

[Flamered12]

mines an '04 (december) dynamique if that helps anyone?

 

[Turkish]

yup thats inferno

 

[Pete_br]

i have a 53 plate flamered 172 and when i bought it only the 172s were available in it but i think reno did later do other models in it as there is a dynamique parked in my works car park and it looks pretty much the same

 

[Flamered12]

My paint code is TEB76 I think?

 

[Nik]

My paint code is TEB76 I think?

Yep B76, thats the same colour as the 172 Flame Red. It was definitely the same colour available on the Dynamique as the 172.

 

[Flamered12]

Hmmm, end of then i guess! thanks for clearin it up Nik.
Heres my precious anyway!
Dull day doesnt help:dapprove:

I saw a non-sport model in orange the other day - mistook it for a 182 from a distance then realised it wasn't. I wondered if it was inferno, so it must have been.

 

[Anni182]

nice pics but i'm still not convinced that's the best colour on a dynamique its just not special enough, and it blends into the red of the back lights in my opinion, black is best!

 

[Anni182]

get the back black bumper bit coloured, would look miles nicer then

 

[Anni182]

Yep B76, thats the same colour as the 172 Flame Red. It was definitely the same colour available on the Dynamique as the 172.

I much prefer the trophy red, nice pic!

 

[Flamered12]

Yeah im in the process of doin the black bits, I did the sides, then the drivers door handle, I really need to do the pass one but its such an ar se gettin the handles on and off. Couldnt work out how to get the bits off the bumpers though, looked like unreversible clips but then thers people selling the inserts on ebay all the time so i guess there not?!:S

Oh and i'm planning on black LED lights so hopefully this will sway your view on the colour with the lights?!

I'm pretty sure they do the standard Clio in Monaco Blue too.

So the only individual colour to the phase 2 172 is Iceburg Silver.

 

[clio__chris]

they used to do separeate colours - flame red (172s), cherry red (normal clios), and mars red (extreme's) which are all similar but are different

from 04's they had flame red avaliable on the normal clios (and of course the lighter red which isnt metalic)

simple as that

I reckon they are the same colour, the only difference being that in both Flame red and Monaco blue on the 172 it's a pearlescent finish not metallic.

Has has a blue 1.2 which was supposed to be the same colour as my old 172, but side by side the difference was noticable.

 

[Lagerlout]

Aye, the Renaultsport variants were "metallic pearlescent supergloss" or something like that iirc.

I might not be right though.

At least you don't have a solid red car as used on the lower models. :clown:

Ooooh you big engine fellas dont like the little guys do ya...
