removing catalytic converter

[turbotog]

hi guys.
removing the cat converter on my gt tce twingo.. think the buggers collapsed and restricting air flow and power.. can happen when you drive for 6 hours 6 days a week popping the exhaust..
anyway.. undone top bolts to turbo.. easy.. now trying to locate lower bolts.. jacked car up.. cant even see the cat really!
read its a transmission oil drain etc and requires loads of removal..
any help would be appreciated! is there an easy way to do this?
thanks for your help guys

can see catok under car atm.. see cat easy tbh. .
seems to be 2 bolts with springs to remove the cat from centre section.. and 2 bolts on a bracket. .
obv the drive shaft is in the way.. do I really need to remove it?!

Yeah I had read martins post on a clio forum.. no idea how to remove the last spring bolt.. near to no room around it! wish martin still had his twingo and was around to offer some advice!

iv change the down pipe on my twingo gt and i wouldn't even bother if you dont have access to a ramp. you will need to undo the dogbone mount and swing the engine forward to get the downpipe out

this will help you out a great deal. it's really not so hard to remove but you've got to remember that the twingo is designed to be a tiny little car with crap amounts of engine bay space to work with.
