My RenaultSport Clio 182 Cup - What I miss about the Fiesta (pics)

[ATSEIF DROF]

"Just remember I drive the best handling barge ever built in OZ. Drive the car like I do this flogged old horse after 130,000km and then get back to me. I don't have one oil leak or drama now thats what I call a performance car."

This from an XD Falcon, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Teki04]

To be honest that's not called a 'performance' car. It's a reliable car :P


Nice one guys! Way to revive my thread after owning my car for EXACTLY 1 year as of last year. And what a fun year it's been. I'm still smiling

I disagree.. Blue all the way for me. I saw not one but 3 Blue 182 Cups (with stripes) parked next to eachother on the weekend in castle hill. Was a horny sight to see.

damo you think Lama's Are hot....and you get randy over them. your just plain weird Rofl.

[Danny]

Dude! WTF?

[Ives]

The stripes look much lighter in person imo. Damo, I also like the blue one. Occassionally I see a maroon RS Clio 182 when I'm driving to work, i really hate maroon on anything.

I'm a fan of all colours, although wouldn't have the Arctic Blue because it was too similar to my Fiesta (basically, I like all colours on the 182!).

Ives, I think you are seeing a 172 everyday. The 182s came in Arctic Blue (dark-ish metallic blue), French Racing Blue (flat light blue), Titanium Silver (obviously... Silver!) and a Black Gold colour (can't remember the name).

The 172 models came in Red (Maroon-ish colour), Monaco Blue (Darker metallic blue then the Arctic Blue), Silver and Black. Then there was the mk1 172s (only 85) which were again different... we had 3 Yellows into the country, and a few red ones too!

I've grown to love the French Racing Blue colour though - It stands out, easy to keep clean, collectors item (as are all 182 Cups! ;)) and it's rare. No other car has a similar colour available. Love it.

I will be keeping it till it is paid off. Then, I'll be moving on. Not because I'd be over the car, but because it's the logical decision given the Kms it is estimated to have then!

Wise Choice. Sensible and smart thing to do....so would you be moving onto an XR5T? lol.

Maybe so. It also looks less aggressive than your (and Danny's) Clio.

[Danny]

That would make it the 172 then, yes..

Would be a 172 then. Easy-to-spot differences include;

* 15 inch alloys
* No dual exhausts (172 has hidden single exhaust)
* Colour - only the 172 came in a Red/Maroon colour
* Front headlights have a 'black' surround, instead of 'grey' on the 182.

getting slack there Steven, you forgot the orange metallic in the 182's ...... and haven't you seen the late model BA / BF XR6 Falcons in a VERY similar colour to Racing Blue?

Opz. Yea, the limited edition of about 15 or so into Australia.

True - but on a Hot Hatch there is no other! Haven't seen many BFs in that colour though - musn't be popular?

[murcod]

I regularly see a couple of Falcons where I live in that colour, I haven't had my Clio parked near one to compare but it looks very close to being the same. :
