New on here, a few questions :-)

Hi everyone, I have a 133 cup which has just been for it's first service and Renault have reported that both lower arms need replacing and I have an oil leak from cam cover :-(

Anyone else had these problems?

I've got a White one with an I.d pack completely standard, does anyone have any suggestions to make it stand out a bit?

Thanks x

Welcome to the Forum

Hmmm, can't say I've ever heard of that on a Twingo, especially that soon.
They are known for munching through Renault's soft bushes but in 1st Service mileage, I wouldn't have thought so

Leaky cam cover will just be a gasket that got nudged out of place or someone not tightening it enough

The White 133s stand out pretty well as it is
You could always lower it, throw on a decent exhaust and fit HIDs to the car. A lot of people on here have

Anyway, Hope this helps and Enjoy your Stay

Thanks, I didn't expect it either! Only just covered 10k and had service early just to be safe I don't drive it hard so was a bit of a shock. The oil leak is not too bad I think it started when it was about 3 months old my boyfriend found it.

Its been a pain trying to get it fixed, Renault have booked me in, then cancelled saying they were too busy, and then cancelled again saying they had one arm, but sold the other lol

Haven't seen any other White twingo rs133 around Yorkshire anybody got one near Leeds?

Thinking of carbon wraps and maybe a black roof? Anyone done this?

Black roof sounds good ;-)

Black roof sounds good ;-)

want to see one first before I do it lol

 

[Courtney]

I'm sure one of the many clever people will be able to do a Photoshop on here..

 

[madmatt]

Noone else (on here at least) has done a full carbon roof but it would look awesome IMHO
A few people have been carbon wrapping bits, myself included.

Just do it

Here is a pic of the silverstone edition twingo with the black gloss roof, i was going to get mine vinyl wrapped black but then went for the stripes instead, think it looks amazing this one:

Thanks everyone, that silverstone looks great, may hav to look into carbon wrap roof, wing mirrors and would like black alloys aswell they're anthracite atm.

Welcome to the forums

My 133 had both Lower suspension arms replaced at 2 years due to the lower ball joints

[LUCY133CUP]

Thanks for the pics, mines the same :-(.
I've just got in touch with totally dynamic wraps, just waitin on a price for the roof doin gloss black, and rear diffuser think this will look good?
