Got my car last october, and spent a good few month getting some decent pictures and parts for my beaut!
I searched for ages on all the cameras/memory cards phones and folders for all ther pictures i have..
So some are bad quality off my phone and some are okay.

Heres some pics of it at the Renault garage and some out and about..

Was an icy day, thought it looked kinda cool....

Really couldn't stand the abuse i got from my friends at college and work, calling it a girls car and that its my mums car :(
So i had to do something about it!

First i decided to get my rear windows tinted...
Cost me £110 and i've not looked back! But still they came out with the girly car comments haha :/

My friend has a Fiesta Zetec-s MK5, we love our cars too much, and like taking pictures of them trying to get some cool shots..

Here is a pic of the panel he damaged. We saw some old fiesta that was quite 'ratted out' and it looked really cool.
It's called 'sticker bombing', for obvious reasons :)
Instead of painting his new panel he bought a book full of stickers for £10 and went crazy, this is how it turned out..
Cheaper than a paint job eh.

Started searching for some alloys, really wanted some Twingo RS Cup ones, but didn't have that much look as i was being so impatient!
I ended up buying some Megane 17" alloys which i kinda liked actually.
They came with some awesome tyres too! £300 was a bargain i thought..
The 3 hour trip to Liecestershire from Blackpool wasn't that awesome i must say :/

Decided to fit them to my car.. And make it look like a 4x4 :)

These are my original 14" steely bad boys ;)
P1030695.jpg


And this is a picture of them just infront of the wheel hub, as i soon found out the tyres being 205's were just a tad too big..
They fit on the back but i didnt get any pictures of that.. It did look okayish i guess though, not exactly RS's though are they :(

Bad quality pics i know.. stupid camera.
P1030697.jpg


But anyway i went on to re-sell the alloys for £400, £100 profit for me, excluding the petrol costs to go and buy them :)

So.. I had this wad of money in my bank and i wanted to show the fuckers at work and college my car has potential to be less girly.. :twisted:

I bought myself the Rear Diffuser and RS Spoiler and OMG.. Couldnt be happier!
This was me when i got home after work i think after the stuff had arrived.

Oh and BTW.. The 'I-Music' on the side of the car was a little wobbly, so as my dad was pissing around moving the 'I-' it snapped off leaving it just saying 'Music', so i did it on purpose on the other side haha! Hopeing to take it off eventually..

Wanted it on sooo badly, but it needed to be painted and i would rather it was fitted proffessionaly.
But the diffuser on the other hand.. I could not help myself but put it on myself!
Was surprizingly easy once the bumper was off, just took concentration and time..

Here some pics of me fitting it.. Not exactly step by step, but hope it shows how simple it is :)

As you can see, just 12 holes, 12 bolts.. you get guides to show you where to drill, it couldn't be easier! Just got to be confident with it! :D

The numberplate was riveted on, so i had to drill the rivets off, and find some screws to fit myself and i think i did a good job!
DSC00046.jpg


I got some pictures of before and after.. I always wanted to see this before i bought it because a black diffuser on a black car? sounds like it wouldnt make a difference, but its a plasticy black, so its not shiney.. Kinda like Matte paint.
Make a huge difference to the sportyness!

Before:

After:

Had to go out and take some cool pictures.. Was dying to!

DSCF4737.jpg


4x4 or what!? When its lowered i'll be sooo happy :) Might call it the MonsterTruck for now ;)

Finally. The day i had been waiting for since like i joined this forum.

RS SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR PAINTED AND FITTED!!!!
Oh yes. Best buy of all.
Painted genuine Renault Anthricite. I know my fog surrounds, wing mirrors and bad boy wheel trims are all silver, but
im hoping to change the fog surrounds and wing mirror covers to Anthricite too ;) Should make it abit more unique :D

First picture i took.. Bloody dad wouldnt get out the way :)
DSCF4738.jpg


My car was dirty as hell, as i was waiting to fit the spoiler first before cleaning it nicely :) Nice and clean nowww :D

The misses was trying to hide, would of ruined this beautiful picture if she didn't but she doesn't have to know that ;)
I joke, i joke she was just grabbing her bag i swear :)

Later on me and my Zetec-S buddy wanted some fresh car porn.. So decided to go find some places to take some pictures :)
Was mostly trying to show off the spoiler in these pictures, so this is what we ended up with..

Oh and if you haven't already noticed, i am missing a wheel trim, because i thought my car was like a ferrari..
And I decided to try and drive a billions miles an hour round a big quiet bend.
Hello buckled wheel and bye bye wheel trim :(
So had to use my spare, which then in winter got banged into a curb due to ice :( So i have no spare and a crappy rear wheel!
Thought i'de be sneeky and just put the wheel trim from the other side onto the not so good looking beasty steely.
It's not buckled or warped or anything, just some scratches and a little dint.. oh well :) Gotta learn one way or another!

Anyway.... Zetec-S buddy kept getting in the way of my shots. I was fuming! So i decided to get some close ups :)

Went different places, found this car park.. And thought i'de catch some of the Blackpool Tower too!

Yes, Zetec-S buddy is taking the piss out of my smooth picture poses..
And his alloys are different on the front to the back because he hasnt got enough tyres for his new ones (the front ones)
and two of his old alloys buckled cause hes a shit driver.
DSCF4775.jpg


Bought myself and exhaust tip ;);) only because i can't afford a K-Tec exhaust :cry:

And finaly, took some pictures today in the nice weather to finish off my first progress thread.. Got one of my sisters little fiat thing!
Oh and my misses lives over the road from where the Blackpool Football Team go training..
So theres some really nice cars outside her house! Grabbed a sneeky photo ;)
Didn't quite get them all in though.. Had to get the fake Clio Sport in ;)

Hopeful plans for near future:
Either RS Cup alloys or Clio 182 Cup alloys.. Both look great on Twingos!
40mm Lowering springs
Twingo.net Decals!
Remove 'Twingo' and 'Music'
Get 'Renault' monograph or something to go on the bottom right of the boot.

Thanks for reading guys!!
:D :D :D
 
Looks good, lots of work gone into it, any more plans?

No chance you'd be interested in joining a north west rolling road day?
 
I didn't notice you were from blackpool! What colour is your car? might of seen it about..
I'de go suree, probly wouldnt use the rolling road though haha... 1.2's arnt exactly things to be proud of if they arnt modified :(

It's a filthy black RS133. You never know that 1.2 could be putting out more than it should be.

What's the difference in spec with the Imusic and the other twingos
 
Do you go to bispham blackpool and fylde college??
Theres a black sport cup there!
The i-music is just a trim level, abit of a special edition one.. basicly its got foglights and decent interior for a good price :) basicly an expression or dynamique
