Spring compressors have just arrived fully lowered twingo soooonnnn!!! woop.

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Lowering springs fitted, 40mm drop front and rear

Can't wait to give it a clean and get some fancy snaps off my driveway!
Hopefully will be re-doing my roof lining to a better quality soon maybe, will do a 'how to' if I get round to doing it!

Decking if I want to give my alloys a crack at refurbing them myself!
Thinking about buying a spray paint gun and some anthracite paint, sanding it all down smooth and spraying them!

Since ive done everything else myself I might aswell give it a go

Looks ace! Perfect height

Looks great! I'd love to get my i-music to look like that but without the dice hanging from the rear view mirror

I need to find a cooler substitute.. Might put them on the rear tow thing..

Not been modding for a while due to many birthdays, tyres and having to fend for myself cause my parents ditched me for spain for 3 weeks!
Ordered a few bits to freshen up the interior
Been a bad few months for my black ***** got a dent, scuff and a bunch of stone chips! Lost my exhaust tip (god knows where) roof lining needs re-doing.. Plus my alloys are still curbed from purchase..

In fixing mode!!
Dent has gone, new tip ordered, some interior goodies and a shit load of suede matierial!!
Paint touch-ups then an alloy refurb in a month or two, its up and ahead from here i hope!

Got the morning to re-do my roof linning, and it is safe to say 100x better!! Not a single crinckle and really pleased with it now

Also had some left over to use someone elses idea!! Sorry about that )

Youde think there was no chance of getting this done crinckle free, but somehow i did it!

Couldnt believe it myself to be honest haha!

Got these made up tooo..

Got fed up of all suede.. So going for a leather/suede split theme..
Im going to get edge automotive to do the speedo cover in leather with matching grey stitching so it will be like leather down the middle of the car and suede touches everywhere else!

Hope you dont mind i copied singlespeed! Loved the idea so much! All credit to you

 

[jra3d]

Love it and works so well, really impressed about the crinkle free dash!!

 

[Dubz]

Looking good Great job on the dash!

Any more plans for the interior?

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Hmm, well i am wanting some better seats, but i dont think i could ever afford any haha
Not sure if theres much else worth changing?

 

[Dubz]

I want some seats with a bit more side support. I start sliding out of my seat around some corners :S

Steering wheel? Maybe a bit of leather or something to make it more interesting?

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

I did actually enquire about this.. Basicly, cause ours are just plastic moulded, it would be more work/difficult to retrim it.. Where as the rs one is leather stitched, the just undo it and use the existing as a template i imagine! So would cost like £300 :/
An rs steering wheel is like £200+ on its own too, and thts if i even fits!

 

[singlespeed]

I don't know how you managed to get away with no wrinkles Looks good


BTW. Get the hoover out

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

I think it was down to the material! It had a little bit of stretch to it and i had some quick drying spray glue!

And it is in need of a full day of cleaning! Not in the recent weather though, tomorrow hopefully!
