Been having a think about an idea for a bit of a new theme on the twingo.
My wheels need refurbing anyway so I was thinking of getting them re done in black along with the fog surrounds wing mirror caps and then getting a black cup spoiler too.
I was thinking it would look good but I'm not really sure.
Any thoughts on whether it would look naff or not ?
 
Like stealth Twingo? Tbh Parks, I think it would look awesome, especially if you got some matte black wheels to go along with it! Maybe just have a touch of colour like on the calipers (say orange) to match the 133.net sticker ;)
 
Yeah I might do mostly black (matte wheels) with dashes of orange here and there and a few bits carbon wrapped :)
 
How much does getting stuff painted cost anyway ? Say if I were to get my mirror caps done ? Also how much is a cup spoiler if I order it through sprayshack and get it painted a the same time ?
 
Depends. Always get personal recommendations if you go somewhere local. I like to go have a look at their work before using anyone (although last time that didnt help with my roof)

I found the going price to fully strip back refurb and powder coat a set of wheels is £300 for same day up by us

Spraying parts if you don't mind waiting ask sprayshack as they are on our forum and are recommended by many.

I've heard the wheel specialist is good (we drove past them on the way to the meet) about 30 minutes down the road from the McDonald's meeting point at ashby.
 
I went with a black, orange and white theme on my C2 GT;

Also think any mainly black car with bright coloured highlights, like greens or blues, work well.

You could do the MoD green parks ;)

Genuinely would do this if it wasn't so expensive! How much is getting it wrapped?

Much cheaper as there's less prep involved, there's a place in Hinckley that do wrapping I could send you their details when I'm home if you want.
 
Normally 1200 - 1500 quid for wrap for a whole car.

The bits that u want doing id expect 100 - 150 at a guess
