Theres a cup near me...like the colour..similar to mine and probably the main reason i choose it.

I like my toys..the baby is fast enough and i weigh a metric tonne so who cares about a little weight loss

er ok thanks, although i just wanted to know if people liked the 182 in racing blue (colour), im not wanting a debate on wether the cup is faster etc, i was just considering buying a racing blue 182, but im not ever likely to see one in the flesh so wondered what peeps thought

Yeah, fair play, that is as close as you will get to the colour in a photo to be honest.

 

[Slugger]

[Funkyjahooner]

dont it look a bit like the old bake bean tin colour ??, or does it look better in the flesh

 

[Dyewitness]

I have seen one in the flesh and it does look so much different than from photos, its an original colour, artic is too much like the mondial blue of the cup, titanium doesnt do much for me, black is well feckin everywher, only mondial and inferno really stand out as original colours

 

[welsh182]

Maybe a bit biased, but I love it. It is usually slightly lighter than the motor show pic and darker than Daipacs pic.

But dependant on the light at the time, it actually appears to vary in shade from light to dark. Very strange for a non metallic but I genuinely think it looks great. It is very bright and very noticable.

Each to their own tho, all of the colours are nice. I picked the Racing Blue (without seeing it) as it was the only unique colour on the 182 available back in march and is still the only unique colour which will not cost you £1k.

 

[Gary G]

I think its awesome! Especially with the white stripes.

*looks lovingly out window at racing blue beast* ;-)

 

[godders182]

[182_blue]

oh sorry didnt realise that was what you was meaning, yeh that would have been good, but never mind, anyone know were theres a racing blue 182 around nottingham area

 

[iceblue182]

i followed one today for about 10 mins. i have to say im not convinced. it looks odd on the road. if the Car becomes a classic though it will be the one to have. if it doesnt, then i think it will lose the most money.

hmm,not good then

 

[davyboy]

Great colour!

I always like to pick colours for cars that are unique to that model.

If I see a met blue 182 until I look at the back of it, it could be a cup......with a unique colour, it can only be a 182.
