I want to see a yellow 182

[MattyMarsh]

Does anyone know where I could see a Yellow Clio 182 in the flesh.

Im thinking of buying one, but I would like to see it first, if possible.

Thanks

apporx 1100 extra IIRC

 

[MattyMarsh]

Im based in Staffordshire, but would consider travelling.

I know its expensive, but I really like that colour. My alternative would be silver, but Ive already had 2 silver 172s. Not a big fan of the other colours.

HOW MUCH!!!! f**kin laughable

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Youre welcome to see mine, but your talking a 3hr drive (each way)

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

I thought so, a guy at renault in harlow said that to me and i didnt beleive him until he showed it on screen. Bit silly really cos they could have done a non metalic yellow (like the sunflower mk1) and it would look the tits........IMO of course.

 

[MattyMarsh]

Certain yellows on certain cars look awful. I agree. But I think Liquid Yellow looks good on the Clio. Another one I like is the Seat Cupra R in yellow. Looks the dogs danglies.

 

[MattyMarsh]

phunkey_monkeh - where you based then ?

 

[norfolkminis]

Swan Street Renault in kings Lynn Norfolk had 1 last month in the showroom. Looked ok to be honest.

My mum saw a gorgeous yellow 172 with a very deep plum purple interior, half suade (sp) half leather, said it was the doggs, was thinking of shipping the old williams off, but then she rememberd how much she loved her lil Willy2..

Thats mine

Your welcome to come down and have a look at mine, but to do it justice it has to be clean as then you get the effect of the paint. Its filthy at the moment and looks more black than yellow!

I agree with the price, makes it more exclusive!

 

[cliovicky]

that yellow clio is very nice

 

[MattyMarsh]

Manchester, thats pretty close.

Will try them first.

Thanks.

to be fair the pictures of it at donny and trax this year do it more justice, its an awesome colour pisses on sunflower yellow from a great height looks so much more deep and classy

 

[172gal]

Anymore pics??

Does anyone know how many liquid yellow 182s are in the UK?

Not been lucky enough to see one yet!

 

[FiDoDiDo]

That yellow is worth every penny, there is one that is in our town its sooo nice! Theres a silver 182 down our road and it doesnt even close IMO.

Hmmm ... where in Staffs? Personally I think you would be much better off getting another colour ... any colour!! ... looks bloody horrible in the flesh!!!

... if none of that was successful then I work in Cannock if you can get there to take a look at mine

PS Everyone tells me its a poofs colour and looks sh*te and I got ripped off and ..etc, etc. [none of this is true but still trying to put you off!]

 

[MattyMarsh]

Thanks Craig. Are you saying your own motor looks horrible ? You wishing you went for another colour then ?

"Everyone tells me its a poofs colour......."

Sounds like jeoulousy to me mate. Id tell em to f**k off.

Nah mate ... 100% kidding (I just like being the only yellow 182 in Staffs ).

In fact there has been only one person to date that has told me they didnt like the colour (which I am still shocked about .. yellow is normally far more controversial than that!!).

Being serious though, I didnt pay the full amount for the yellow BUT having had the car through the summer (looks amazing in direct sunlight) I can honestly tell you that I would have! ... I think its that good!!

Craig

 

[MattyMarsh]

Phew. Dont do that to me Craig . I thought you were being serious for a minute. I was starting to doubt my own decision. It did seem a bit strange. How can anyone buy a car and then hate the colour.

I can understand your concern though. You want to be the only person in Staffordshire that has a yellow 182. Well its a big county. Im sure theres room for one more. Only one though. Nobody else can buy one.

 

[phunkey_monkeh]

Im certainly the only yellow 182 in south wales, and who knows, maybe the whole of wales.

 

[MattyMarsh]

Its nice to be different.
