Hi all so I thought I would start a new thread now I have a new car, here is Rosie Rocket, a 2012 Capsicum Red Twingo 133. It has the cup chassis/suspension option box ticked with 10,200 miles on the clock when I picked her up. Here she is on the forecourt when I went to pick her up, notice my...

How fast are the front wipers when using the screen washers on these generally? (Facelift if it makes any difference) It might just be me but the wipers seem agonisingly slow to move. If it's a dodgy motor I'll chuck it through work and claim for warranty job on it.

Hi all, sorry for my long time away from forums but I have returned with this Picked up Rosie Rocket today :-) capsicum red with cup pack not sure which other bits are standard fit and which are options but I have covered over 180 miles with her already and loving every second of driving her...

Anyone heading up ace cafe tonight? :-)

Just seen a blue 133 go scooting through the village at about 21.00, I was just coming out my g/f house so wasn't on the road. Anyone on here?

Finally got round to giving my old/now the missus' Picanto a wash and shine up. Not bad for a quick going over I didn't think... Please excuse my spectacularly rubbish photo taking :-?

Hi Does anyone know what angle the taper needs to be on the locking wheel bolts? As I need to get sone new ones. I know from searching I need m12x1.5 but unsure on the collar taper angle. Also with my standard alloys do I need to find some lockers with the connical washer or does it matter if...

Does anyone has any opinion on these tyres? They are on an offer online for around £62 each so are affordable for me as I don't have a lot of money at the moment and desperately need a couple of tyres (as you may have seen lol) plan is to do the two fronts now then the two rears to match next...

Currently sat at the side of the m40 waiting on the RAC to get out here... Was driving down the outside lane and the nsf tyre blew out and shredded!! Managed to pull into the hard shoulder easily and safely enough. Went to change the wheel to the spare to discover the wheel nut wrench supplied...

A set of these have come up second hand for £50, 40mm drop and low mileage useage (apparently) What are people's opinions on fk springs? Can't find any decent reviews on them. I basically want my car to sit lower (obviously) but don't want to buy rubbish quality products. Also what size...

Saw this come up the A420 and come round the roundabout to head towards kingston bagpuize/abingdon. Not sure if it was a 133 or a gt but definitly looked more purposeful than the more basic ones. I was sat waiting to cross the roundabout in my car as it exited the roundabout and passed me...

So as many of you will know I not so long ago wrapped a few exterior bits on my car in orange carbon wrap. However I have noticed that the colour is starting to fade away already, granted the wrap I purchased was only a cheapish one off ebay. I'd like to get it looking sharp again before fcs...

Just thought I'd share this on here just in case, this soldier has been missing since 10th April.

I figured that I would try and get together a bit of a progress thread up and running but dont have an awful lot of pictures to date. But will try to take more as bits are added/changed in the future. Here is a pic of it when I first got it back in late June. First couple of additions I did to...
