    GT spoiler

    Hi. Much as i love my wee GT, i am becoming obsessed with the utter ponciness of its spoiler. Somebody on here labelled it as looking like a shopping-trolley handle, and they weren't far wrong. To my question; are the fixtures and fittings for a 133 spoiler compatible with the GT ? I'm not...

    Dumb-arsed questions; the sequel...

    Can anybody tell me (1) what the bash-strips in the doors are actually called ? (2) where i can buy replacements ? Car is extreme blue, just thought changing them to silver to match mirrors/alloys/tailfin might make the ineluctably bog-standard just a tad more funky... :shock: Ta...

    True petrol tank capacity.

    Hi. Does anybody know the true capacity of the petrol tank in a Twingo GT ? The handbook states 40lt but i'm not sure if this includes the 'Red' area or if that's a 'get to a garage quick' reserve. If it isn't then my mileage per litre figures are a bit naughty... :o

    Why are there so few Twingos on the road ?

    I'm aware that most of the mainstream motoring press was fairly luke-warm towards them when the 2008 (?) models were launched here and that they are pitched towards the younger end of the car-buying market, but they seem to be a real rarity on the roads. Why is that ?
