Don't recall which way around it is, but think the two colour codes are for Cup / non Cup. Strange that they'd advise by colour code though - these should be separate part numbers and you should be able to order them by that.

Just a small update - had the same happen recently on the other side door - the driver's side door has a lock barrel. Unfortunately to take the door lock out, you need to also take out the lock barrel, which I have failed to do myself. Can't get the securing ring to budge :(

Interesting. I would have thought you'd be missing the power going from a 225 to a 133. Good you're enjoying it :)

Update from end of May - the Twingo got itself a bigger / older brother :) With number plates almost to match! Crappy pic, yes ;)

So.. had the update item "- -A" arms fitted back in August. Car has since done about 14k km or under 9k miles and I have been told there is already play in the balljoints. Ridiculous...

I'm in London until end of March - hoping to catch a cheap deal in the UK :P

Siema! Another Polish RS, great! RS Monitor - a lot of work? What was needed?

Looking for a left hand side (right if standing outside, facing car) fog surround, in grey - not scratched, no broken clips etc. Obviously as cheap as possible. Unfortunately they come as a pair from Renault - unnecessary cost of the other one :(...

New shocks all round and new lower arms - oh the bliss of quietness!!

I've bloody had enough of Renault Poland - drove to the Renault garage in Prague, estimated cost for the above about 8-10k CZK. Called up Poland for a comparison - 20k CZK. This is getting ridiculous, they seem to think Renault buyers are millionaires. Same thing as the rear Cup shocks, which I...

So.. first major breakdown for the Twingo... well, semi-breakdown. On the way from Croatia to Prague, the clutch slave cylinder decided to start leaking fluid - in Austria, in a very mountainous region. Oh joy. Local garage first try top up the brake fluid. Then after I failed 3x to explain in...

Thanks for clarifying Dino :thumbup: I decided for the full arm replacement in the end. I can get them at a fairly good price here (140eur each) and if anything happens soon, can try get them replaced on warranty (which would be hard with parts from you, I presume).

Can anyone confirm whether these balljoints are the improved / updated design, or the older version (which may fail soon too)?

The VIN from an RS Cup does not help unfortunately - it might be a hit or miss with what parts you're given (Cup / non Cup). E.g. I was given the non Cup shock part numbers based on my VIN, despite the car being a Cup. The Cup shocks were listed in the system as the "Extreme" option (way to make...

Had a dive recently under the car and got same number for front, but different for rear (same format as the front). However these two numbers for the rear (singlespeed's and mine) seem to correspond to each other somehow on that Russian parts catalogue site I posted earlier. Turned out the...
