"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."

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 ![]()

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!

* 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.

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

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.
