iceberg silver 172’s!

[eves]

your opinions???

 

[Daipac]

Personally, I see too many of them and would be 4th choice for me on the choice of 4 colours IMHO.

That is just my opinion tho, I think the other 3 colours look better.

 

[JillyB]

Nice in black

 

[Tom]

If it has CUP on the back then YA DAS IST SEHR GUT!

 

[unofficialPete]

slower than black ones i hear

 

[Karl3158]

Blue Mk1s are fewer in number from what I have seen. I wanted an Iceberg silver one, by now have a blue en, only seen one other mk1 172 in blue since I got mine, not even one at the French Car Show!



Silver stays clean thou

 

[McBunny]

i see far more blue and black 172s about red is hardly seen by me

 

[black kro]

blue MUCH rarer - also unique colour

you can get cheap immitations (dynamiques) in black and silver!



^^ I can say that cos i got one ^^

 

[Duz172]

I think theres more blue ones than silver where I live, only know of one other silver one on the IOW. Silver rocks!

 

[Chad]

Personally I think they are the best but I am biased

Chap at work had a flame red 172 and that looked really good on sunny days. I never notice black 172s they look like any other black clio.

Also people always comment on how mine looks clean even when I know its dirty.

on the mk2 172 the iceberg silver has a hint of blue? am i right?

was thinking of black but apparently theyre hard to keep clean and show up stone chips and scratches!!

There were two Silver varients for the Mk1 Iceberg was the latter colour I beleive. the other silver had a hint of blue in it. The original was Titanium I believe or it maybe the other way round! My blue one is hard to keep clean, but when it is its da bolx

The iceburg is nothing like the dynamic silver. Theres such a difference in shade. Renault got the colour spot on!

Yes mate, you really notice it when you park next to other silver cars.

Im kinda glad that when I went to buy mine they only had iceburg if theyd had red as well I dont know which Id have chose.

 

[eves]

sweet sounds good!

 

[Ally]

Nah, dont get silver - the last Clio meet I was at produced 3 Iceberg mk2s and 1 Monaco Blue mk2 (mine!) out of about 8or 9 Clios. Sooooo common!

Glad I got blue (even though sliver was my first choice when I started looking into buying a 172).

 

[jon_r]

Never catch me in one

 

[172fastcup]

its gotta be MONDIAL BLUE

best colour yet!!

 

[UncleRogi]

I went with Black, although I did wish I chose Silver.

Black / Blue look dirty all the time.

Red looks pretty good

 

[2863]

i have an iceburg one ,wich is nice!

but isnt silver the most common colour for new cars.(used to be red)
if i was buying again id get a blue one.
blue is best.

 

[Viv172]

"Blue is the most popular car colour in the UK. This is closely followed by red, then silver, white and green."

According to this website.

Buy red!

Buy mine!

Trouble with dark colours is that from a distance its not immediately obvious that its a 172 and hence something special.

With a dark Mk2 I need to be up close and personal to see that the whole lot is colour coded to confirm that its a 172. Even true with Mk1s ... dark blue for example look much more "normal" Clio .. even tho Mk1 front is more different.

So reckon Silver ones and Red ones (and Cups) standout better for being that brighter colour.

 

[Lagerlout]

Iceburg Silver is a fantastic colour. Always looks clean, shows off the lines of the 172 better than black or blue. Looks loads better than any other silver. It is popular, but for good reason!!!

Just because the other colours are rarer it doesnt make them any better. For example, there are thousands of Moonstone 206/306s by me and only a handful of blaze yellow ones (apologies if you dont reconise the colours!)..... does that make the Blaze Yellow a nicer colour and more desireable?? Noooo!!

[Martin172]

i got silver and love the choice.

looks very nice in the sun and seeing as i live in australia that hits the spot for me.

 

[Yugguy]

I picked silver. Second choice would have been blue.

 

[182 sport]

I picked silver.It was a choice between silver and black.black looks mean but silver is da bollox and makes it look class

 

[paddymph]

the mk2 silver isnt the same as the mk1 silver.

the mk1 silver has more of a blue tint, well Rhys did anyway.

reds gotta be the one. stunning!!

 

[Lagerlout]

mk2 silver has more of a blue tint than the mk1s. Apart from a few Mk1s which also came in Iceburg Silver iirc.

 

[Jones]

Silver is the best colour, when i was looking for a 172 i was lucky enough to see all the colours parked next to each other and at the time i wanted a black one. After seeing them i decided on silver because the red and blue ones looked too dull and unexciting, the black look dodgy with the plastic front wings as you see a noticeable difference in paint from metal to plastic. So i chose a silver one. and to be honest you cant call it common really because how many ren sports do you see on the roads, i dont see many and the ones that i do are blue! The only silver ones i see knocking around are mine and JPW172 from here. But then again its all down to your own taste at the end day!!

 

[JPW172]

yea silver rox as i wouldnt of bought a silver 1 otherwise!!!plus the silver on the 172 is alot different fron the rest of the renault range,alot brighter!!

[Exclusive003]

Cant believe none of the other exclusive owners havent posted yet. Scarab green is stunning and is definately the rarest. only 172 in the country!

 

[Enid]

Silver must be the most common colour for cars in the UK now! Theres soooo many of them.
