Finnish Twingo

[Sopiva]

Hi all!

Sorry but ich spreche nicht Deutch!

I hope that its ok for me to write to you in English

The story is that I have been a member of a Finnish Renault car club since 2004. Now I have been the chairman of the club for two years, and I have regretted that I have been using a Peugeot (307 -01 2.0) and a VW Beetle (-95 Typ-1, Mexican Import) as a daily driver and no Renault! As a trackday project I've had a R5 -89 with F7P 1.8 16v engine, but I wanted my daily driver to be Renault as well.

Well, my girlfriends dad had a Twingo and I knew that he was thinking about selling it. We came to a deal and I bought it from him for 300e, with new studded winter tyres. Good price I recon

Only things I had to do for the MOT was changing the register plate bulb and fix a small hole on the sill.

The main idea is to make a Funny and Great looking car with as little money as possible. So far, EVERYTHING has costed me (including purchase price) less than 1400€ in total.

This is how I got the car:



With my friends E39 540i



Then I wanted to make it look more... fun

First purchase, TA-Technix Coilovers.



Putting them in straight away:













This is how it looked with everything as low as possible:







Also, this "small " dent was part of the deal when I purchased the car



Then i took the back bumper of and gave it some love with stickerbombing



Unfortunately the car was not sitting as low as wanted in the front so needed to do something illegal (at least here in Finland)





Better!



Here is the hole in the sill which my friend welded for me





Then decided to make some room for the rims



I also bought facelift front bumper and headlights from my friend. The bumper came with Clio II splitter which was an awesome surprise!

Taking ugly tuning away from the headlights





Before:





After:



Then my friend who imports vinyls started doing his magic









"Vinyl covers all the rust"


Changed the blinkers!





Also new 50e stereo in:



Ready product at the biggest Finnish Tuning Show this easter









So here it is how it looks today


I like this forum a lot but unfortunately because of my bad German skills I cant find answers to couple of questions and I hope you could help me out:

I really need to change the seats to sit lower in the car. Is there any seats that fit straight away? Like maybe Clio 16S or Renault 19S seats?

Also I want to ask about the original speakrs. I noticed that I need to remove the whole dash to get to them but what size are they? Can I fit something aftermarket easily there?

Thaks in advance! And PLEASE if you have any questions, let me know and I'm more than happy to answer you. About the car, Finland or anything!

Kind regards,

Erkki from Finland
