actually i have seen someone do it once but later on he got fined by cops cause it is not legal that your rims emit light its like neon lights under your car is also not allowed , well not in Belgium but i have no idea about England
It's legal in the UK as its not seen as a bulb which neon has (but I believe it's legal if you can't see the bulb) but if the police were to stop you. It could go either way as it could be seen as a distraction to other drivers. If you have a good lawyer you'd be fine

So I did some carbon mirror caps V.2
Detached them , used a hairddryer to take of the dualsided tape and re-attach them with a kind of spraycan-glue.
After 2 hours of intoxicating myself with anti-glue residue alcohol and spraycan-glue they've been re-done and now sit nicely around my mirrorcaps

Small update.. blue adonised outlet for the cold air feed.
On a side note,
ran into a police control last night. First time in 6 years I have my driver's license that I had one.
A very angry looking cop was looking at my car, came to my window and said "those nice blue lights in your headlights aren't allowed.. pull over!"
Then 2 young friendly cops asked for my papers.. funny though when I was parking next to the cops, one of them said "look, it's a Renault Wind!"
Gave them my papers, insurance, no problem.. then they asked if I modified my car. "Something to the headlights?" They said. I said "no, the blue ring inside the headlights are OEM. Didn't change anything to my headlights". They looked at them again with 3 of them checking out my car..
Did a sobriety test (my first ever) & no problem either.. so they let me drive away with no issues.
My gf said I looked cool and making some jokes with the cops but I was so afraid they'd notice my car was on coilovers and would have asked for a TüV. If they did, I was FUBAR'd! My car was even scrapping when I drove on the parking lot where they were checking all the people/cars.

You gotta love the Netherlands on that aspect. No f*cks given when coil's or other 'normal' performance parts are fitted.
on another note. I've been looking to join the wind group. The only person who stopped me was the salesman with his perfect Wind and two other interested people the last two days. He played me on my nerves so well that I told him to shove the car up his .. and sell it to the other two interested people instead. The face he gave me was priceless :lol:
I will wait till next month and see if he still has it. Because it was indeed a nice shiny black 1.6 Wind

You'd replace your Twingo for the Wind?

Yeah! I would love a covertible. And I love the 1.6 of my current car, so why not combine those two?

On topic:
Been talking to Ghostz about some uprated ICE.
Want to keep everything as OEM as possible so with original radio. Not really a fan of aftermarket radio's... they feel 'chavy'.
So I need some speakers, amp and woofer. Amp & woofer would fit underneath the seats.
Hertz EBX F20.5 subwoofer
https://www.lucascarsound.be/nl/product-information/8511/hertz-ebx-f205
Hertz HE2 Amp (it's a 2 channel but thats enough because the Wind has only 1 pair of speakers & tweeters)
https://www.lucascarsound.be/nl/product-information/8504/hertz-he2
Speakers I don't know yet, either Hertz or Focal.
On top of that I need some dynamats are else my door is going to fall apart. When exactly I'll get this, I don't know yet. Got until the end of the winter.

Just doing a little bit of modifying to my car, and am just using 3mm self-adhesive closed cell foam. £12 for 2m x 50cm. Do you need anything more? If so, Amazon or ebay?

Talked to a guy in Belgium who specialises in ICE installements for tuned cars (from modest modified cars like mine to full out Fast-&-Furious-project-like cars)
He sells dynamats for 3€ a piece. He asked me to stop by his shop and he'll take a look what he can do for my car.
He wants to sell me a subwoofer from Kicker but like Ghostz said to me, they're more for a real big bass but that Hertz or Focal has overall a better sound quality.

Next week I'm heading over to get some ICE upgrades.
Hertz or Focal speakers, amp & subwoofer + some dynamats and a friend of mine is going to help me install it because the costs to let it done is sky high.
I asked a quotation for some new rims as well. Instead of respraying the Superturimo's I found other OZ's that are in blue.. they're not cheap though :?
So yea the Superturimo's are going up for sale soon.
