Clio RS 200 Turbo Colours

[kultsch88]

Does anyone know what colours the new RS Turbo will be available in? Obviously seen the Red and Yellow from the Media snaps but can't find nothing on any other colours :S

I know everyones opinions are split on the car, let alone the paint colour - but I think it looked much better in yellow than red.

I've seen the new MK4 Clio in white and it was quite attractive. Hoping they'll offer this for the RS too.

Just shows how much the colour of a car can alter its appearance.

Before you decide on this new Clio RS, do have a think about the 208 Gti and new Fiesta ST. In particular, the new ST is now getting some great reviews and is £2K cheaper. The Clio 4 RS has really lost it's original mojo. Maybe that is what you want.

Not particularly exciting Clio 4 RS colours:

Is that it!? I really thought after bringing out such a dull looking car, they would have made it in some nice colours... where's Alien Green

A bit of blue would be nice. Renault have it avaialble on the new Clio GT.

I suspect its all part of that new mini VAG image they are now trying to push.

Hardly anyone bought it. They stopped offering the colour way before the end of the 200's life

No Albi, or Racing blue, no Pearl White, Nimbus was an amazing colour (far better than mercury silver).

Seems the only decent paint they've kept is Liquid Yellow, though not to my personal tastes. Not that I'd buy a 200T any way.

It's not difficult, they already do the GT blue:

Yeah bit disappointed there's no Racing Blue. I wonder what the flame red will be like in the flesh...

And Renault want £1300 extra for the Liquid Yellow.

A Clio Cup 200T Lux in Liquid Yellow is £22,000 list. Ouch.

It is very rare for colours to carry over from the old model to the new one.

You say that but Racing Blue was on the 182, 197 and 200!

Not quite accurate above

You have a choice of Liquid Yellow(£1300), Flame red, Malta blue (£595) metallic available, and black or silver metallic (£495)

So yes limited choices and the yellow appears to be a ripoff. All this info available from renault sport dealers now. Order books opened on the 8th.

No Blue availble on the Clio 200T that I have seen in the latest specs and prices. White is also available.

So, Renault want to expand the appeal of the Renaultsport Clio, but also now limit choice. You do wonder who makes these crass decisions.

Renault do a nice Blue and a Met Grey on the base models, so why not on the Clio 200T? Same 5 door body.

I have ordered one in Malta blue. Always possible the dealer has made a mistake. The colours above tally with the sales staff literature I have seen though and were supplied by the dealer that took my order.

Just checked the dealer document. The colours I posted above are correct (for the UK)

We are talking about a Renaultsport 200 Turbo here?
