I'm back! With a new car...

Hello all, I used to post quite a lot in this section maybe about a year ago now and one day I just kinda forgot about this place, but nonetheless I hath returned...!

Last time I posted my car I believe I still had the Clio, and it looked kind of like this...

But in the 2 years I owned it, I ended up de-badging the rear, fitting LED bulbs here and there, shorter aerial and lowering it 45mm on H&R lowering springs...

I didn't like how the rear wheels were lost in the arches so I then added 20mm spacers to the rears, along with black badges and a few stickers...

Then I had it at it's "peak" by sticking some yellow lamin-x over the fogs, and this is how it looked before putting it back to standard for trading in...

And the trading in was done in mid November for this... Renaultsport Twingo 133 in Extreme Blue. 2010 (60 plate), 5k miles, 2 owners from new. Immaculate and still had that new car smell inside...

When I first picked it up (from Northumberland)

Not even a week into ownership and already I stuck on the rear spacers I had from the Clio

The lowering springs from the Clio wouldn't fit on the Twingo so I sold them and used the money to buy a Pipercross panel filter (no pics of this) and some mats from the owner's club...

And that brings us up to today! Apologies in advance for the picture whoring...

Ah I remember your old thread... The new car is looking decent, what are you doing to it next? I would love to replace certain parts of my car but I want something better than a 1.1 before I do! I love the mat you've in it too.

I don't mind the Twingos, remind me of a Ignis. Looks really good though, love the colour.
Needs wheels and low however!

Cheers mate, to be honest I have no plans for it as I love it the way it is. Eventually though I'd quite like to save up for coilovers and possibly a set of smaller wheels for it, at present it's sitting on 17s with 40 profile tyres which is far from a smooth ride... But I'm in no rush. What you driving now?

First time I've heard that, Ignis is bigger believe it or not! I liked them too but they're a bit too old now for me. Wheels and low are in the pipeline possibly!
