Twingo RS 133 non cup

[XNicolalaX]

So I collected my Twingo RS last week. I have photos of how it was when I purchased it, and hopefully I will keep posting pictures of how my progress is going.
Today I have fitted my Xenon headlights and I have had my personalised plates printed (just waiting for my log book to arrive before I can visit the DVLA to put them on).
I put some pictures on later on my lights

These are the personalised plates I had printed today

They should look good

I think mine are on with five or six sticky padswhich may be overkill, saves drilling them, or them dropping off/being nicked

 

[XNicolalaX]

Yeah I think I will put about that many on aswell, don't want these falling off!

one of our local motor factors sells the sticky pads from a roll, 10 for a pound. So using loads wasn't a problem. Much cheaper than Halfords

Nice plates my front one is on 3 vertical strips and has been for months! hard to pull off
But on the diffuser, because of its texture i cant get a good stick from foam pads, so i put one rivet either side, still looks neat

Lights before...

Lights after...

Apologies for the camera, it was very cold and icy outside! lol!

I went to Halfords just through curiosity today, (I purchased my Xenon lights from eBay £6.44 for both headlights), Halfords £24.99 for one! Aswell as having to pay £6.99 to have the bulb fitted....EACH! Could not believe it!

Looking good headlights look so much better than the standard bulbs!! How long before you decide they aren't good enough and go HID? Lol

Haha, I'm so tempted to get some! Need to get some extra shifts in at work. Or I could just not pay for my electric and water for a month? Lol!

I'm not 100% but I'm sure you can get a decent conversion kit for not a massive amount of money, going to start looking into it myself for the Clio ;-)

I had a look briefly and they were around the £200 mark, but that was a very quick search, i'm sure there can be some cheaper! Let me know if you find some cheaper ones

Wow that's a lot!! I'm pretty sure last time I looked could get some for around £50 but unsure in quality so that's the bit I want to research, but if I find any I'll give you a shout....what bulb figment do you need as mine are H1 I assume yours are H7?

Just ran a quick search on google, and hids4u came up.... Around £100 a set they seem to have a good reputation too, reviews I have seen say they have really good build quality too....I would avoid the cheapy ones on eBay no matter how attractive the price as apparently most are made poorly in china, don't fancy risking the electrics in my car for the sake of saving up an extra month lol

Yeah I believe they are H7, oh well £100 is better than £200 lol! Thats much cheaper than I found. I would avoid eBay for the more expensive stuff definitely! Thanks for looking, I'll take a look now.

Twingo headlamps are h4 fitment, and fog lamps h11

The difference is quite apparent with them cheap bulbs. Are they 100w or similar to look so different?
