Since i have had my twingo for about 18 months now, i guess it's about time for me to get a progress thread up and running, Started out in november 2010 like so....

It was completely standard apart from a set of the worst wheels i have ever laid my eyes on, for safety reasons i only have 1 picture which show these. To say they were 'a bit bad' was an understatement, these were shifted for about £40 which actually surprised me! i thought i would end up taking them to the scrappy lol

They were quickly removed, along with the tyres which would be refitted to my new alloys.

And put back to standard after a long search for a full set, which were a complete bargain!

After this i decided i wanted better sound quality, so i got 2 amps (1 of which is still not even in the car), a sub, speakers, head unit and for reasons which im still unaware of.... 4" (yep) diameter tweeters, which surprise surprise would not fit in my dashboard without the removal of a large chuck of the heating system (DOH!). So as of today, i have smaller tweeters ordered and the Bullet ones are sat here doing sweet FA.

For a while i wanted a different design on my Twingo, so, with FCS fast approaching i made my mind up and got it sorted, not everybody likes it, if everybody did... chances are i would end up hating it anyway :D. For now i still love the work the guy has done, all he had to work off was an image i had printed from Google.

Similar has been done on the opposite front corner as well, although no pictures from when it was being done as i went to the cafe for a sarnie :)
 
Then, i managed to get hold of a white RS spoiler (many thanks to Matt) which was swiftly bolted on in replacement of the old GT spoiler.

And, apart from a few bits and bobs bulb wise, thats all.... for now.

This morning i gave the car a full clean, and for today at least, she shines :D

There are still many things which i have to sort, but the most important ones for me are as follows:
Lowering.
Wrapping silver bits in white
Wrapping badges
Refurbing wheels and repaint in black

Things like a diffuser and so on will follow, as and when available.

Thanks for reading!

JamesGT :D
