Hi mate, welcome to the site. Best colour you got.

 

[Alex]

indeed......it was either the black or silver. No way on earth could i have the orange stitching in the car either.

Black gold is the best colour imo......the orange just shouts at the police......CHASE ME.....

Saying that....the orange isnt as bad as that lime green v6 clio they did.

 

[andy bassett]

a almost got one of them till i could not insure it for under £1800,

Acid yellow.... im not a fan of that colour either.. I have a liquid yellow 182

Welcome to the club

Im indesisive about black... and whether i like it or not. I washed my mums Audi A4 yesterday... i couldnt tell where id washed when it was wet (but im anal and wash every panel twice.. so i knew it wouldnt miss anything) but... when i dried it, i loved it.. like glass

Nice one bubbles!

 

[Alex]

here were the options

1. Black Gold
2. Silver
3. Inferno
4. Light Blue
5. Dark Blue (Discontinued)

The blues were outta the question as i deffinatly didnt want a blue car
Inferno was too loud.......we had loads of them at work as all the field users that could get them got that colour and i didnt like it at all.

The Silver i liked simply as it had a nice deep silver to it and the pearlescent shade was a tint of blue. Only problem was that there wasnt a car in that colour at the time i ordered + there wasnt a colour sample available in the marketing department.........i even asked the brand manager at the time but they couldnt source it. Not even a single dealership paint sample block was available. So i was left with the option of Black Gold.

I went and saw a car and i loved it.....saw it on a clio 182 at renault colindale aswell and it looked the nuts. Luckily i baught my car in may 2004 and it was sunny out. Was awsome to see the gold tint in the black.

I dont regret it in the slightest......word of warning though.....never use one of those automated petrol station car washes......i dont trust them. I might treat mine to a valet and wax in the next few weeks. Lets get rid of the salt on the roads first
