My petrol blue girl!!

[Jaff.]

dont get me wrong its one of my favourite ever colours on a car and ive seen one around swansea which does look epic in the sun but after 2 dull pictures in this thread im starting to think again about it looks like a dull british racing green in some pics

 

[Jane]

Only had 29 people ask for one in that colour I would have thought.

Haha, oh yeah! That didnt even cross my mind! I think just coz its nearly 30

 

[PP200t]

Really i know what you mean about the colour in dull light, but believe me owning it is worth it in the sunlight, or at petrol stations!!!

 

[treemanx]

Don't let the poor light put you off, it's awesome IMO in any light!!

Cannock? ;p ill keep an eye out, only seen one in the flesh awhile back.

im gonna have to take a good look at one in sunlight and dull light before making my mind up i think

 

[PP200t]

Could be....
That would make a good game if it wouldn't be too hard!! Lol

One more little update...Had a go at wrapping my bullets. I dont think I did too badly, especially with no skills or patience. looks good in my opinion with the colour.What do you think?

Looks good mate. Was it easy to do?

 

[PP200t]

It wasn't too bad actually, I thought it was easier than my dash strips. Would recommend it tho, I think it looks good when done right. I tried heating up the vinyl before separating it and then laying the item on it.

 

[Johndolan1979]

Where did you get the vinyl from?

 

[Coby.]

Not really a fan of the cf bullets I'm afraid.

 

[Toms_clio]

Sorry but The colour is awful untill the sun is shinning on it ..

 

[ElkWorks]

john, ive got some spare carbon vinyl going if your after some fella

 

[PP200t]

I got it from eBay John, but it's not the best I don't think. Did me tho.
And I know the colour is hit and miss with the light but I really like the murky look in dull conditions.

Apart from that, and the fact the colour is not awful, thanks for the trolling.

Ant, if it's ok with you I'll pay you to do mine. Patience isn't one of my strong points.

 

[JoeyD]

Saw my first ever Petrol Blue 182 yesterday. Looked absolutely awesome! Very jealous.

 

[PP200t]

I'm yet to see another one on the road!!

 

[PP200t]

For all the dull weather pic haters...

 

[PP200t]

 

[dezmondo]

Those last 2 photographs look awesome. still get surprised by the colour some days on mine!

 

[treemanx]

Spotted you on the Stafford road yesterday, looking good!

 

[PP200t]

.

 

[PP200t]

Yeah I gave a little nod to you. There are loads round here but some don't even look!!

 

[treemanx]

You do have to look twice because you don't associate the colour with a renaultsport because of how rare it is.

 

[PP200t]

I totally agree, it doesn't look anything special at first glance. You can tell an rb or a silver, even a bg looks like a renaultsport, but not pb.

 

[PP200t]

New modification alert....
The curb must have done it.

Trip to skoda me thinks!!

 

[ElkWorks]

get us one whilst your there bud!!!

that was cracked when i walked past it the other day!!!

 

[PP200t]

It was actually in 3 pieces to start with, f*cking garage I got it from did it whilst the belts were done.
But superglue and oversized washers were keeping it together.
Will do if you want one ant, waiting for skoda burntwood to get back to me then I'll get one. Can't be as5ed to fit it tho tbh. At least it's not urgent, unlike the rear bearings......

 

[ElkWorks]

yeh, grab us one if you can mate, then i can give you the cash since your only round the corner!

 

[ElkWorks]

some i took a while back

 

[PP200t]

Ant I've warned you about putting the old arch gap on display!!! Lol

 

[Jake007g]

Awesome colour! Never heard of it myself, probably as there is only 29 of them like somebody said! Looks bang tidy to be fair to you!

 

[PP200t]

Thank you, I love the colour. Even when it's dull, there's just something about it!

 

[dezmondo]

Bummer, I've got mine in two pieces at the mo too! Let me know if there is another meet like the one above, be cool to get 2 pbs there!

 

[PP200t]

Definitely!! I will get onto Donny and the likes and arrange another!

 

[ElkWorks]

cerrone is trying to arrange one in west mids at the moment!!!

Dons put a couple of dates forward already!

 

[dezmondo]

Excellent, best get on fitting all the new stuff to the car!

 

[PP200t]

New stuff like what??

 

[dezmondo]

Got a bit carried away, needed new tyres but ended up with trophy turinis painted silver with pilot sport 3s all round, sportlines, a whiteline arb and going to order solid top mounts and a brace from pure motorsport this weekend. Then got to debadge the rear (got a 197 renault sport badge to go on but think I fancy the clean look now), fit 3/4 plate and repair splitter, then get the alignment sorted and detail it all up. Phew, I've got alot to do!
