http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/4492_91570847540_653572540_2369246_.jpg

Will get it fitted after i've had me brekkie! my springs still havent turned up :(

Fitted!, using velcro and screws, and as the clips didnt feel secure holding the plate its also got some bluetac just for precautions sake!

Update! 10/06/09

However this bad boy was fitted this morning, and it sounds just right not too loud, quiet on idle with a nice burble but let rip and it purrs!
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/4558_91954922540_653572540_2373930_.jpg

I wanted twin 2.5" tails but he only had twin 3's and the letterbox fits the car well!



Well haven't updated it in ages, fitted a new headunit (pics to follow) and relocated the boost gauge (still need to tap into the wiring loom for lighting)

Quick update:

I'm away at the moment, but Dale (Bigfoot) helped to lower my car on sunday. springs still need to settle a tiny bit, but if you saw it before and now you'll notice its sitting ALLOT lower:

Well rang up the local dealer to see if my LHD driver side visor had come in (our twingos don't have a passenger side mirror!)

Sorry about the camera phone pics, also forgot to take a pic of the speaker sitting in the adaptor and i wasn't going to take teh doorcards off again lol, i wanted to relocate the standard front speakers to the rear, as on some twingos (not all in my case!) pre existing wiring with the renault plugs is fitted, however this wasn't the case on mine so will be purchasing some aftermarket speakers and run cable direct off the head unit, i'm very impressed with the dynamat aswell!, while i had the rear cards off i decided to fit the orange 133 seatbelts i acquired

Got around to fitting them today, however got pics of the process involved (did a how to for TOC) but forgot to take pics of when they were mounted in place doh! will grab a pic of em tommorow nice orange glow behind the panel and they sound minto especially for the money!, also i bought a load of concave LED bulbs off ebay, so thought i'd fit them around the car:

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/IMG_1394.jpg

They look much brighter, then what the pic suggests

also replaced the LED sidelights with philips bluevision pure white bulbs, these are better as you can see them in the day, the LED's were a bit weak power wise but i may switch back!:

Well this was suppose to arrive yesterday but nobody was in to sign for it so i went to collect it this morning ;)

My wiring kit also arrived today :D

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/IMG_1413.jpg

So between lectures and work, i'm going to start on my boot build, will be getting MDF on monday from B&Q Probs.

My H.I.D kit arrived the other day, fitted it this morning:

Got around to finishing the boot the other day:

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/IMG_1501.jpg


Also a manual boost controller arrived i fitted it but then removed it as it wasnt accurately upping the boost, generally 1 full turn on the dawes type is around 4 psi, however i need to refit it by tapping into the actuator piping:

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/IMG_1500.jpg

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/IMG_1503.jpg

Also an air fuel gauge came:

http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/IMG_1499.jpg

will look like this fitted:
http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f281/swiftcirrus/Twingo/aa15.jpg

The standard dump valve always used to hiss under partial throttle and at motorway speeds and as it was a sealed unit i couldnt adjust the spring so i refitted the bosch recirc without the recirc pipe attached, it doesn't hiss, and it still gives off a lovely whoosh tish:

Yeah thats the one, think it was only realised the MOT had run out that week and needed work doing to it.
