Racing vs Arctic 182

[claude80]

Sorry everyone but Ive seen pics of a Racing Blue next to an Arctic Blue and I cant find them anywhere now I want them. Was hoping someone might be able to help?

Dont want to start a discussion on which one looks better either, its totally subjective so just dont!

Cheers

P.S. Which is best? Racing (with or without stripes) or Arctic?

Theres no way you can tell in photos, you need to see them in the flesh. I fancied Racing until I saw it sat out in the sun at the dealers. I thought it was a bit bright for me, but what do I know Im getting a bright red one next. lol

Racing Blue all the way

Arctic out of the blues for me. I would have got one if it had not looked so alike to my old car.

If you do get racing it needs the stripes.

Racing blue all the way for me, you only need tosee how many 172 cups and arctic 182s were at FCS, it was like a sea of them whereas there were only 4 racing blue, much more rare and one of the 182 unique colours IMO

yes, thats not the M40

Its brands and you have to attach your towing eye incase you do a Tom(well nearly)/Dai/y0z/Fred and put it in the kitty litter and need towing, they dont want you messing with it at that point.

Racing blue doing the toll road 3 weeks agohttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/simonr/ring05054noplate.bmp

No that I a bias!!

 

[dk]

^^^ good likeness of colour

 

[Liam]

like both a lot, racing stands out a lot, but so does arctic, especially in the sun where the arctic looks deeper and more expensive where as racing looks cool, but a little flat.

 

[dk]

sorry Liam but Racing Blue is far from flat in the sun, it looks amazing!

 

[edgerfs]

Yer thats the good thing about metalic paint (artic & black gold), really looks special in the sun.
