Default Opinions on colour choice please?

Just ordered a Clio 182 for the wife, however the colour does not have to be confirmed till Monday.

The colours available are -:

Racing Blue (non metallic blue commonly seen with white stripes)
Black Gold (lovely pearly metallic black with gold flake)
Titanium (smart metallic silver)
Arctic blue (metallic blue nearly identical to Clio 172 Cup Mondial Blue)

There are 2 special edition colours available too, paddock green and liquid yellow.... the less said of those the better!

So, its been narrowed down to Black Gold or Arctic Blue....

Pics below, please vote!



or



Cheers!

Go for the blue. Black looks great when it's really clean, which is very rarely.

Racing Blue for me without the stripes.

Why....well a blue one and it could be a 172 cup, a black one and it could be a 1.2 special edition....and everyone has a blue or black one.

Go for one of the unique colours that are only available for the 182.

As I've seen pics of your other cars.... which are covered in about 2 inches of Swissol, I'd doubt that you'd find a black car a problem to keep clean.

Cheers,

The black car / dark wheels ( assuming you are going for the Cup options ) just doesn't work. I personally like the Racing Blue colour. Having had a 172 Cup in Mondial blue, that Arctic Blue looks dull and not as bright as the Cup ( had my Cup parked next to a Megane in that colour and it's just not as nice ) . It's still a nice colour but no Mondial blue.

I am going for the Cup option, and personally, I think the dark wheels on black car looks well mean and stealthy!
Racing blue just isn't my cup of tea. It looks far too flat, being non metallic, and needs the racing stripes to make it look decent, but how quickly will the stripes go out of fashion?
The Arctic blue is near on identical to the Cup's Mondial blue... so much so that the dealer has a Arctic 182 parked right next to a 172 Cup and you'd struggle to tell the difference.
We previously had a 172 Cup and the wife adores the Mondial blue, hence the reason she is swaying towards the Arctic blue.

Both really nice colours, especially with the cup pack anthracite wheels.

If you're going to clean it on a regular basis go for black, if not then it's blue
