<div class="bbWrapper">Hey peeps,<br /> Thinking bout getting another W202 again! I've seen one advertised but the pics not up to much. It's a C230K sport in akind of ice blue metallic. Does anyone Know this color and /or have any decent piccies of it? <br /> <br /> I'd also like to know what people think of the colour (those who know what I'm rambling on about <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ). I quite like it, though I do like being different. Bit like all the Vivanite boys! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Just my opinion.<br /> <br /> I know the colour and wonder if it's a bit insipid for a 202. It suits the 210 due to the lower look of the car and the curves, but the 202 has an altogether more butch appearance and a higher stance.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Hi Roj, <br /> <br /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I think the ice blue metallic you speak of is Pearl Blue? I could be wrong. I guess if I had to pick another close colour then Tealite blue (as seen on BrianWH's W211) is a few shades darker. I know the colour you mean and I concur with Dieselman's opinion, the colour just doesn't do it for me personally but if you like it then go with it I say <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> After all everyones' tastes are different.<br /> <br /> *EDIT* Is this the colour?<br /> <script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json"> { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", "lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded.

There's a fantastic colour for a W202, about as common as hen's teeth too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /><br /> <br /> Here's a useful site that lists the available colours on the W202, scroll about half way down, hope yer German is up to scratch <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.w202-freunde.de/techdaten.htm" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://www.w202-freunde.de/techdaten.htm</a><br /> <br /> Go on get a Vivianite one, you know you want to <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Hehe though given the turn out at the last GTG we may get more common than silver <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek! :eek:" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> <br /> <br /> S.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Think it's probably aquamarine blue as Steve's link(good 'un btw!) shows pearl blue not to be available on Sport models. Still not sure about it. As mentioned before , I don't mind a break from the norm, just not sure if it does the handsome W202 shape any favours. <br /> <br /> Thanks for the feedback, I'll go and ponder again for a bit <img src="/styles/mbclub/smilies/crazy.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":crazy:" title="Crazy :crazy:" data-shortname=":crazy:" /><br /> <br /> Just noticed it's actually the car in the first of Aletank's clickies that I may be interested in.</div>
