What influenced/helped you pick the colour of your car?

[unfortunately_french]

I can see the apeal of them but wouldn't pref one over the 182 these things are so easy to live with and more fun IMO
O ye eBay for the sticker if people wana buy them

Yeah, if you try and find another car with the same sort of power, handling as a 182 for the same sort of price you'll draw a blank. This simply is the hottest hatch for the least money, for the most fun, and depending on when you bought yours (got mine in jan2011) you stand to loose hardly any money when you sell it!

You'll be surprised what you learn trawling around the forum mate.

Don't worry if anyone shouts at you for asking questions lol

Do they do orange ones? :approve:

 

[jack_kemp]

There's two inferno's 'round here, a couple of arctic's and a black gold that I've seen recently.

Quite a lot of RS clio's around here driven by very sensible looking older folks. unusual.

 

[guysy]

I love black cars when the sun is setting, that summer evening sky makes any black car that's well looked after look fantastic,

On the other hand it shows up dirt, and dents a black car would have, any swirls etc so badly.

Id got for another black car because i like detailing so to speak, but id also go for blue or silver any day.

 

[.Tyler]

Yeah my previous car was black, so I'd have another one any day, or a white one because I like cleaning my ve-hicle. Good hangover cure IIRC

Had to read that a couple of times before i got that...should of put *speaks in yoda voice* lol but yeah now teach me how to lift the X-wing out of the lake please

I'd get one if they had "blue red" lol its a great colour :rasp:

 

[Dave..]

I must have bought my car with my eyes shut and my fingers in my ears. While humming loudly and spinning round at the same time.

 

[kris-182]

my cars blue my last car was blue. the moon is blue MCFC

 

[Icarus83]

Because the most hardcore clio only comes in blue (and silver).

Yup.

Always wanted a Cup. Silver are hard to come by and I'm not a massive fan. When the sun hits the blue its sexual.

This.

I'm a big fan of LY, RB and BG as well though on RS's.....

 

[domjolly]

Because the 172 is built to be driven like a mad man so silver never gets really dirty not ultra shiney.. Driven not detailed was my moto then, which posses me off now as I would love a black phase 1 or flame red

 

[Cookson]

I bought monaco because its subtle enough, but when the sun hits it...... BOOOOOM, lush

Plus the fact my ex had one and I loved it. lol

 

[MikeoftheQuays]

Don't like the blues. There were no Inferno and LY anywhere near me (not for a decent price anyway). That left me with black and silver. Was mainly shopping for black but then went to see a silver one and in the flesh, as it were, I actually really liked it. So I bought it.

 

[Craigus]

The price.

 

[Freeman_1986]

I wanted Monaco blue, and found a Monaco blue lol

 

[Gandi69]

Actually I'd forgotten something. Seeing a petrol blue with cup packs in the town I live made me want to get a 182. Couldnt find petrol blue one though obviously.

 

[Poopensharten]

WAnted an Arctic Blue 182 since i was 18!

 

[kev182cup]

Colour Wasn't a deciding factor in either of my rs. 172cups are mainly blue and I got 1 of the best ones around 26k felt like new then I wanted a 182cup which only came in RB or inferno and I didn't mind either so I just got the best condition 1 which was inferno.

 

[boomerbang2006]

Evertime i was looking around for a 172 all i was seeing were silver.....silver....or.....silver,when i saw my oddyssey i was hooked at the blue.

 

[Birdie*]

Whichever came up at the auctions, luckily enough it was a swish looking monaco

 

[unfortunately_french]

Is it possible to get a 182 in monaco blue? I don't think i've ever seen one...not even a photo!

 

[Gally]

They all came in the same colour on my car.

Pretty awesome colour though.

 

[H182]

As said price and condition of the car comes first, providing you don't hate the colour. Unless you're buying new obviously then it's personal choice which you like best.

 

[bmh.01]

Because it had xenons and climate fitted.

Its because you can't. Arctic on the 182.

 

[EllD90]

I like black as it looks so good when it's clean. Perhaps I'll go for a change with my next car! I quite fancy a gunmetal grey.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Blue is my favourite colour, and at the time I didn't like Racing Blue (although I do now)

 

[JackD]

Mondial blue! Looked at a silver cup but thought Silvers bit boring so would go for the lovely blue!

 

[Hixle]

No other option if you want a Trophy, lol! Capsicum red is awesome though :approve:

 

[Feirny]

I wanted a yellow Ph1.

So I bought a blue Ph2.

I suppose it least that rhymes.

Should have bought Melissa's.

No other option if you want a Trophy, lol! Capsicum red is awesome though :approve:

Yep, it was only made in one colour.

And I bought the sunflower after looking for one for about a year.

 

[DrR]

I bought the Mintest one I could find, also happened to be inferno


Also 99% sure it's just inferno not inferno orange.

Correct, D38 - Inferno.

 

[Sir_Dave]

They only do Trophys in pink.

So the colour chose itself.

 

[.Tyler]

Correct, D38 - Inferno.

I stand corrected on this

 

[tanker]

I like the Monaco blue on 172's but Ly was my first choice as it's so rare! Never seen a Ly Clio round here but my neighbour has a Ly r26! Look like a right pair! Lol

 

[chris_182]

Like the colour blue; vts was blue, the clio in petrol blue as it was rare and looked different.
