My petrol blue girl!!

[dezmondo]

Best colour, and one of only 3 in existence with only the spoiler pack!

 

[dezmondo]

Posted these facts the other day on another PB thread.

Decided to be a bit sad and work out the relative rareness of the different spec PBs:


So....


There were 29 made, with 5 having no packs, 21 having cup spoilers, 21 having cup suspension and one with Recaro seats (which I have read had both cup packs).


Therefore in order of rarity they are:


1st rarest = Recaro seats and cup packs (only 1 sold)

Joint 2nd = Cup spoilers only (3 sold) and cup suspension only (3 sold)

4th rarest = No cup packs (5 sold)

5th rarest = Normal seats and both cup packs (17 sold)


That makes mine the 5th rarest - at least I won't feel so bad if I decide to tweak it a little.


Right, off to get a new anorak!!

Starting with the lexus lights.

 

[dezmondo]

Starting with the lexus lights.

Actually, if the lights were fitted before it left the showroom it is as rare as the recaro seated one. Not a big fan myself but everyone to their own!

 

[dezmondo]

Starting with the lexus lights.

Oh, I think you think its my car, I got a different petrol blue, this one belongs to the op!

 

[PP200t]

Yep tis mine, and my lights aren't lexus, they are clear!! Lol
But I think they will be going soon.
Dezmondo, good work! I have the second rarest!! Woohoo!! Lol. Still both of our cars are the rarest of the renaultsport clios, including the 172 exclusives!!!

 

[nobblebonce]

did you buy that from a garage in atherstone by any chance, next to a petrol garage

 

[PP200t]

Atherstone? Nope. Garage next to a petrol station, yep.
How come?

 

[Gt rob]

just to let you know mate theres another petrol blue one on here from cannock

 

[PP200t]

Is there? Who is it? I'm not sure I can have that, this is losing it's exclusivity!! I bet they get spotted to!! Lol

 

[nobblebonce]

was the garage called atherstone motors, if so i went to view it but they wouldnt do the cambelt for me.

love that colour too, i was gutted

 

[PP200t]

No it was in bidford mate, over that way. They did the cambelt with a bit of contribution from me. I love the colour, it's great. I even love it in the dark and dull daylight!!

 

[nobblebonce]

thats right mate, bidford motor company, small world the car ended up on here, have fun with it

 

[Gt rob]

21tubs or summat his name, its all std too, was mailin him for ages the other day

 

[PP200t]

Yeah that's them! Small world indeed!! Have you got one yet? There's an inferno for sale by me now, which looks lovely!! But I wouldn't change my PB! Where are you from? Funnily enough they mentioned someone else came to see it but I thought they were just doing the usual salesman b&llshit!! Lol
Was it just the belts that put you off? If you don't mind me asking?

 

[nobblebonce]

i have a silver 182, yeah the belts and they didnt have the log book when i went to view it, i went to see it in march they said it would take a month for the log book to come but i needed a car for work, so couldnt wait that long.

 

[Matt#]

Mate your car looks sweet, an that bonnet shot is wicked, I quite like the Lexus lights on that colour

 

[PP200t]

Thanks, it's comments like that that make me think keep the lights, as I quite like them!

yeah the logbook came straight to me. I wasn't too bothered by that as they taxed it for me, and the hpi came back ok.

 

[PP200t]

Can't find him rob, I need to find out exactly!! Gutted lol

 

[DB.]

Nice!

 

[Matt#]

No worries mate, the thing is you love your car that's all that matters, I love the usual colors your's, flame red an inferno there different which I love. Ps mines flame red lol

 

[PP200t]

Cheers bud. Too many people are quick to cruticise people's cars, but individuality is part of the point of modifying.
I do love the car, I'm so glad I've finally got it.

 

[mr. ski]

Love this colour!!

That Bonnet shot is amazing!!

 

[PP200t]

Thanks, and it was only took on my trusty iPhone! Lol.
I love this colour, so much. It looks great in all light conditions, because of the different shades and effects that come out.

 

[Spee]

I saw one of these at the weekend in the Asda car park, Rawtenstall, looked better in the flesh than it does in pics, nice colour.

 

[dezmondo]

just to let you know mate theres another petrol blue one on here from cannock

Ooo, does that mean there's 4 on here up to now? Getting a bit common ;-)

 

[PP200t]

Nope a mistake I believe, although I am REALLY hoping so!!
Dezmondo, you picked up yours yet? Get some pics up!!!

 

[Scrooge]

Looks lovely, never seen that colour before

 

[dezmondo]

Nope a mistake I believe, although I am REALLY hoping so!!
Dezmondo, you picked up yours yet? Get some pics up!!!

Yeah, picked up a couple of weeks ago, then went back last weekend for them to do the cam belt, back last night, will start a thread if I get time to get some shots tonight.

 

[chris_182]

I part exchanged mine, shame I didn't sell it privately now given the apparent love for them on here.

 

[Hixle]

Standard rear lights would improve it massivly.

Lovely car, mind. Never seen petrol blue in the flesh!

 

[PP200t]

Dezmondo def get some pics up immediately. Get a proper appreciation thread going!!

 

[danzel]

Stunning colour

 

[dezmondo]

Dezmondo def get some pics up immediately. Get a proper appreciation thread going!!

Will do!

Can open the debate on whether to modify or not............

 

[PP200t]

Yeah and I get my copy list too!! Lol

 

[dezmondo]

He he, best wait until you see what I do.

 

[PP200t]

Well latest I've done is carbon vinyl'd the dash, steering wheel and gearknob inserts, which I really like. Also did my front diamond, which isn't great but when I did the back one it looked odd due to the silver writing. May take the vinyl off the front one.
What are people's thoughts on carbon vinyl on the bullets?

 

[PP200t]

One of the diamond (slanted so as not to show my shoddy work!!)

 

[Leeshez]

Nice.
