Hello from Holland!

[rcr484]

Well.. I've been reading a long long time on this forum, but I thought.. Now it's time to register (and introduce) myself! Alright.. I'm Stefan and living just south of Rotterdam in Numansdorp, in jup.. The Netherlands. I'm coming over to the UK quite often, since my friends dad lives near Bristol.

From April 2012 until July 2013 I owned a Twingo 2 Phase 2 1.2 eco2 Collection, it was my first 'new' car and I liked it to be honest. The only downside of it was the lack of power.. 75 bhp and the 'eco2-pack' wasn't just enough for me, lol. :lol:

Time for some pics of the 'old' one..

And now the 'new' one.. It's a '12 Twingo 2 Phase 2 1.2 TCe GT Gordini, it's 1 of the 73 (!) Phase 2 Gordini Twingo's in Holland. I saw it a the Renault dealer in Zierikzee and I just had to get it. I'm really happy that I own it right now, haha. After getting it, I went straight to the UK for a nice 'test trip'..

My car is completely stock at the moment, but I've got some plans: RS spoiler, (maybe) lowering springs, remap, performance air filter and a K-Tec exhaust. Now it's time to save some money for it! :mrgreen:

Hi welcome to the forum.

The facelift Gordini certainly looks, different compared to mine!

Welcome

Scottish road trip by any chance? Kind of looks familliar but can't pinpoint the spot

 

[rcr484]

Jup, it was. Photo is made halfway the Bealach na Bà, the road to Applecross. Can't wait to take my Gordini down there, I'm going to Scotland around March next year for a short break.

I thought it was, from the imposing rock wall on the right hand side. But, most of the way up has barriers which confused me. Well cropped image from way up here>>

Thanks! I saw your Wind on the Dutch Twingoforum as well!

 

[MovingShadow]

I was also on the Twingo Dag (Twingo Day) in Numansdorp. Did I see you there?

 

[rcr484]

I think so! I was the one that made the whole route of that day.

Thank god I had my girlfriend with me to read the directions or we would have ended in a ditch somewhere :lol:

 

[LCplParks]

Looking good dude welcome aboard!

 

[rcr484]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! By just looking in all the project topics I get loads of inspiration and ideas! Great! I can't wait to save up the money I need for the remap and the K-Tec catback to get fitted..

And to keep you a happy (just kidding :mrgreen: ), 2 more pics or my car.. Made these on the 30th of June and was my first 'update' to the Gordini, just changed the orange blinker bulbs for the silver ones, looks much better IMO!

 

[user 980]

I actually really like the look of that!

 

[Shane]

Now that's a nice looking motor.

 

[Stunty]

Some people may still not like the front of the face-lift Twingo but the rear lights are surely an improvement. Looks ace from the rear. Very nice rcr484 now just get modding

 

[rcr484]

Thanks all! And yeah Stunty, when I saw the TV commercials I almost hated it.. And look at me now... :lol:

Since there will be some mods in the (nearby?! :mrgreen: ) future, I'll start a project thread.
