speka Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 I actually regret not buying a tonic orange but I thought I was too old!! A 57 year old bloke with grey hair doesn’t really suit the image with the colour!! This might be a bit controversial but IMO the liquid yellow doesn’t suit the body shape like it does on the Meg 3 - I am not sure what it is with the colour but quite a few fellow RS owners have said the same thing to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't regret, honestly if the yellow wasn't what Renault's were known for...the red is my pick if I'm trying to be objective. It's absolutely gorgeous 🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUGGO33X Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 Congrats on the purchase, you'll love it. As to the Meg IV colour debate, Flamme Rouge all the way. Depending on light conditions, there's orange hues which dance around in the sun, a beautiful colour, but I'm biased. My second pick is the Titanium Grey,, I've only ever seen one on the road.

I'm in the same boat, and for the same reasons the orange and LY are a bit too out there for me (according to the wife as well). And agree, the LY doesn't suit the IV like it does the III (I owned a 265 in LY and it looked great). 40 minutes ago, SLUGGO33X said: Congrats on the purchase, you'll love it.

Black also looks very nice but I've had enough of black cars and trying to keep them clean. Edited 11, June 2023 by xeno182 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt205 Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 I thinks I'll stay out of colour debates! 😄 dig the black, no need to shout! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abb6027 Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 So Boring 😂 tonic orange is the best colour and you’re never too old (59). I’m sure @Pokinacha will agree on the colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSimon Posted 11, June 2023 Author Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 (edited) Haha, I find the black looks more aggressive than happy colours like orange or yellow. (Can hear feathers being ruffled)😂 When you look at the black at night with the lights on it looks like something out of the future, I think it adds a touch of class to the car, it doesn’t shout from the rooftops I’m fast, it just is. Beauty is subjective and is always in the eye of the beholder. Colour wasn’t a concern for me, they all look good IMO. 😝 Besides it harks back to my one true love, those rims where so perfect imo.

abb6027 Posted 11, June 2023 Report Share Posted 11, June 2023 Yep they are definitely a good looking car. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSimon Posted 13, July 2023 Author Report Share Posted 13, July 2023 (edited) Finally got rid of the previous owners personalised plates. Went with long euro style and RS 5177. 5177 is my birthday and I have had it on my previous clio rs. It was dark putting them on but did it, took a photo and my iPhone and the light shining through gate made for a sick pic!
