[BlackTwingo-i]

If i get paid well next payday ill have a few more bits n bobs comeing xD Then i think that will be it for a while.. Need to fix my drum kit, real bad! once ive done that ill save for some sexy alloys ;D

I was thinking the same... i have a nice pay day coming up the end of august, i should save the money but spending it is much more fun! Still thinking of alloys :-/

I have a few tiny additions, changed the interior and numberplate bulbs

So much brighter at night, cant really tell but they have helped me count my change for a double cheeseburger a few times! Much cleaner looking light

Numberplate:

Look sleek at night shexyyy

Also i went down to my dealer a few days ago and noticed a little black twingo
Decided to park next to it, get some 'before and after' like pics haha
Excuse my wierd friend.

Not amazing photos of detail but yno..

And to finish the post..
Sneeky shot of my twingo

I have successfuly, on my own (with girlfriends help, but everyone should know how much help that would be), fitted black suede headlining!

I used plenty of PVA glue, and applied it would brushes and rollers, it was simple!
Took a while though, but so happy now!

Finished work at 4ish, went to Dunelm Mill, bought the suede £30 for 1.5mtrx 2.5mtr.. Which was so much more than needed i guess,
but they sold it in the 0.5mtr so i wanted to be sure
Finished at 11pm, hence the dark photos, glue set properly overnight and its solid as

No glue soaked through, just one small bit of glue on the suede at the back i spilt by accident dries clear though thank god

I didnt didnt get photos for a how to, or any step by step photos..
But i did get these!

Lol dangling light.

This is the suede just put over the roof lining for a little bit of a see of how it would look!

Action photo of my girlfriend glueing a section

Finished product! Before i folded round the corners and trimmed the excess ofcourse..

I just used plenty of duck tape to secure it in place, that stuff isnt comeing off anytime soon!

The misses thought it would be a good idea to get an action shot of me screwing the eye shade back up lol.. genius....

Few pics of it fitted and some of the edges..

Here is one of the cut i had to make to get it to mould into the corners, guess its the best i could do! It lookes really bumpy, must just be the different ways the fibres are going, its all quite flat!

Before:

After:

Gave it all a wipe to make it look neat, without the finger marks and that, looks the shizz

The day ive been waiting for, for almost a year! in the first week of getting my car i almost bought some wolfrace 'gunmetal' alloys.. bag of crap! thank **** i didnt..

Been looking at OEM wheels ever since, with the odd look at some Compo's or speedlines.. but they were too expensive!

i always had atleast one set of 182 alloys in my watch list on ebay, and one day boom!
a set comes up for dirt cheap! offered £300 delivered and it was accepted

These bad boys came today !!!!

Soo happy! They like 2 big scuffs, and light curbing on 3, one is in new condition..
But what the heck!
if i scratch them now and they were spanking ide slit my wrists, so gonna get used to parking a mile away from the curb,
get some fresh tyres and then get them refurbed..

Heres some more pics !

I didnit take this upside down, took it on the side stright down and my iphone just put it upside down :/

It all matches now!! No ****** silver trims for me..

After i get some new tyres for the back (they are borderline :/)
Im buying some 20-25mm spacers cause it looks like this at the moment!

Like they are shy on there new owner or something.. soon enough they will be sticking out looking minteddd!!!!!!!
Didnt get a side on picture of both on, it got too dark

After playing around and a few more little mods, maybe by the end of the year i might get my 40mm springs fitted! Its like a shopping trolley at the moment haha
Love em though!

[Leanne]

they look rude mate really like them

 

[Dutchie]

it's coming together nicely mate! never thought those wheels would suit the Twingo, but you proved me wrong!

But it was you with the Nervasports a while back right? Do you have a picture of them fitted on the Twingo just for my imagination?

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Do you mean the megane wheels i got ? yeah they sucked!
Were wayy too big and looked silly haha!
What do you want a picture of?

 

[jra3d]

Looks good, can't wait to see with all 4 on

An i didnt realise they where only 16"

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

I do have all 4 on! Not driving with two different wheels haha, but I didn't get one of both on cause it got dark, I'll get some if I get chance

 

[Dutchie]

yeah, I meant the megane wheels. And I wondered if you had a picure of them fitted on your car

 

[Courtney]

 

[Dutchie]

Get you! I will be taking out my door cards next week and changing the inserts there, is that what you are doing too?

Also, about the plugs and sun visors, have you thought of covering them in fabric too? it occurred to me earlier when i was finishing my roof that it wouldn't be too hard to glue fabric on neatly and hide the colours!

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Here we go!
Spent a few hours playing had plenty of suede offcuts left so i decided to do some matching!

removed the door card

Didnt take long at all..

This is what the back looks like..

and these are whats holding the fabric like stuff in place.. Its like melted plastic, with the fabric stuck on
So i needed to get that off to put the suede on..
Took abit of time, 2 stanley knifes and a cut finger..

got it off as clean as i could, it wasnt easy!

So i used my amazing common sence to make a template of the fabric out of cardboard

And perfecto

Here is a pic of it before it was stuck back in place, next to the old fabric

The marks on the right are just finger marks, not glue or anything like that,
ill be brushing it all one way every 5 minutes haha!

Next i decided to have a crack at my own Gear n0b Gaiter!
Removed the gaiter and removed the stitching, so once again i could use my awesome common sence to use it as a perfect template..

I chose to make one for my handbrake first just to see how it would turn out before i ruined anything badly..
so i made one a bit larger for the handbrake

and after stitching.. thanks to my mother :$

And fitted

One of a kind baby!

Got my door cards fitted after the glue finaly set

They look so good and im soo pleased with them! was definatley needed in my car

And so, after the success of the handbrake gaiter, i set on working on the gear gaiter
I didnt quite get to fit it to the base plate thing as i needed to shoot out to pick my girlfriend up.. tut!
But heres how it is at the moment!

Hope you like my ideas

Screw spending silly money on renault sport stuff, (even though they look awesome..) make it yourself
