Poll : Which 182 Blue

[Wend]

Id go for the artic blue sweet

 

[182_blue]

racing blue , everyone has artic

 

[Neal H]

Arctic looks great - but a bit common.

Racing looks great and is much more distinctive (without the stripes though - I removed mine!) You do really need to see it in the flesh though to decide.

yeh i dont know what all this talk is about racing blue going out of fashion etc ..., its not that bad a coulour, the pictures of it really are not what it looks like in real life (make it look like a mk1 escort), its a really distinctive colour and everbody i know loves it, you need to see one in the flesh before making your mind up, i hated the colour in pics but saw one for real and thought it was amazing, the only colour likeness picture i have is the one below

The Artic blue is lovely, but that racing blue is stunning! Especially with the Cup pack.

Really tough choice though!

 

[benhwolves]

I picked my cup (182) up yesterday and the blue is different to both of those - obviously it aint the artic but i thought it was gonna be the racing and yet it seems a lot darker - any ideas if the cup is yet another shade of blue??

 

[adcooper]

Sorry to go off track but whos is the silver clio?

 

[182_blue]

[benhwolves]

non metallic but all the pics ive seen of the racing blue are light and mine is darker - awesome colour like - ill have to take some snaps n post em

 

[dk]

mate, you try taking some pics! They will end up like the ones above, it always comes out really light in pics, yours will be racing blue and it changes colour alot depending on the colour but never looks as light as the pics posted, more like the pic i posted of the fiat coupe above

 

[182_blue]

you have racing blue, but it just doesnt come out right in pictures, if you dont believe me try it LOL, you will see it looks about 10 shades lighter on the pics

 

[dk]

^^^^^^ copycat

 

[182_blue]

LOL, yeh i posted and yours was there too !!!!!!spooky

 

[benhwolves]

yeah thats a good comparison it really does look like the blue of fiat!

 

[benhwolves]

suppose it would have helped if id read the whole of the thread LOL!

 

[Lagerlout]

Thanks for the replies guys. I reckon Im going to have to track down a Racing Blue 182 and see one in the metal before I can choose...

 

[rcp]

sorry to change the subject slightly...but i notice in that scan from the brochure that they dont mention the stiffer tyre sidewalls anymore!

probably after all the confusion we have had on here before about the difference between the two!

 

[dazraffan]

RACING BLUE WITH THE STRIPES!

 

[dk]

pic doesnt work for me!

 

[Lagerlout]

Nor me!!

 

[Ang]

Arctic

 

[Iain C]

both nice but Racing Blue is a bit cooler

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

Racing Blue with the stripes

 

[Ben H]

Racing Blue without the stripes

 

[182_blue]

when i first got the racing blue i had it side to side with my cup and i have to say the cup colour (near identical to the artic) looked really plain and boring !!, even the missus agreed, if anyone in nottingham wants to see racing blue just let me know

 

[Lagerlout]

Oooh Im not far from Nottingham. Might be worth a trip to have a look.

Youll turn every head.

took a couple of pics of mine this morning with my phone camera which although they are crap photos as the lens was smeared has a very good similarity to the colour, it was my favourite colour this morning as there was a frost, looks so good then, really bright blue!http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1102593291__4B8700181.jpg

That picture is from Spain I think. Any decent vinyl sign makers should be able to fit you a set. Or try some black insulation tape!!
