twingo gt es????

[Flying Frog]

has anybody heard or seen that car ?? Seen it on the website GR4H4M baught his alloys. It is advertised as new arrival. Any inofs on that ?

[Dazmoto]

Its just the dealers name mate. Ezra Sugden

[Graham]

Woo me :D ;D lol!!

Yea, it's their demo GT!! Standard i thinks, just had the alloys on it! Big Jim may know a little bit more than me though!!

[big jim]

its just a gt that they tarted up for the launch of the twingo, they added the 182 cup alloys (as now seen on graham's car!!) and put black vinyl on the lower bumper front and rear, other than that its as per standard + options.

i was going to get them to vinyl up mine but i got a diffusor off them instead, still waiting for spare cash to get the front bumper though!!

out of interest if you need parts from them give them a ring, ask for lee, mention the club and you will get a discount, my diffusor was £113 instead of £130ish

[Graham]

Told you Jim would know more!!!

That Twingo does look ace!! Want to do my front bumper now, cost effective and smart looking!! Not sure on the rear, prefer the diffuser!

I want that GT badge though *emails ES*

I mus be blinde and stupid i cant see jack crap lol?

[minijay]

Lmao, the panel the number plate is screwed to is usually body coloured, on that Twingo, its black!! Looks quite smart actually. Im off out to clean my windows in a minute!! Must have the car clean, although, it looks as though its about to rain. Aren't we all impressed with how the price of fuel is falling!! Now the problem is not affording petrol, but keeping the mileage down!

[GT08]

Its cos we have black cars betty, doesnt make a difference to us as our bits are already black, lol

haha that would explain it LOL looks good black my tired lights should be back soon!

[Sergio]

In Spain the name complet of GT is Renault Twingo GT TCE 100

TCE - Turbo Charged Efficient 100HP

[johgoo]

Same as in the UK. :)

Its just the 1.2 TCE engine.

[Graham]

Think what Sergio was going on about was the title 'twingo gt es'!

Stands for Twingo GT 'Ezra Sugden', which are a UK main dealer.

But as johgoo said, it's just the GT TCE!!

[minijay]

How would I do that to the front? I was looking at the front of mine... I want it black!

if its just a vinyl sticker i can sort you out mate ;)

[betty02]

I think i might make a few of these up, will be much better though if i take the registration plate off and do the hole strip and get holes for the reg to go back on, i can do gloss black for now, see if i can get hold of matt black and start making some when i next have free time!

[steve rs]

that looks smart!

[Sammi]

that looks mint! i wanna do that! ooo did u spray u mirrors ur self or did u buy em like that :-\ ?

[Graham]

Aha, Dazmoto's Twingo!! I knew someone had done it to red Twingo!!!

Does look really smart, think we got a new trend setter :D ;)!!!

[GT08]

Hmm I have a black GT so I wonder if vinyl in another colour would look good.

I would like the little GT badge that ES have put on the rear right hand side

[minijay]

How would I do that to the front? I was looking at the front of mine... I want it black!

Yeh that'd be great!! Front and back please! Unlike my old 57 plate GT, which had the numberplate screwed on, my 08 plate has no visible screws, so Im guessing its just stuck on with glue. Anybody elses like this?

[johgoo]

Red one is a photoshop isn't it? All furry around the edges. :D

my bfs meganes number plate is stuck on using them foam pad things. mines on with the screw things though

[minijay]

Is that red extreme lowered? I had to perform an emergency stop last night, on the north circ, 50 mph limit, lights went orange then red SO fast with a traffic light camera there, so had to slam on the anchors... 1st time Ive had to stop like that in this new Twingo, broke my heart to think of the brake dust on the alloys :( ::) ;D

Emailed them about the badge, no reply!! Phoning them monday, does look good!!

[GT08]

I dont want the ES just the GT bit!!

[Dazmoto]

Red one is a photoshop isn't it? All furry around the edges. :D
Lol no its just a mobile phone camera! Its not lowered, just 20mm spacers with 15" alloys. Thinking of the 172 springs if they fit :) My mirrors came like that Sammi, but i want the silver covers.

[minijay]

Im thinking of getting new wheels for mine, 15 inch... whats the ride like? And the vinyl, its just a sticker isn't it? Not tailored on! I might get leather :D lol

[Sammi]

wish my mirrors came body coloured. i wouldnt mind the brushed metal effect covers ;D !

[Dazmoto]

Rides fine, no different from standard. The spacers made alot of difference in stabilty and cornering. Yeah the vinyl just sticks on.

[minijay]

Right, I want the vinyl!! What do I do? Where do I get it from!? Betty!! HELP! :D Well excited, just washed Martha, she looks BEAUTIFUL, although I want the 20mm spacers and alloys... I dont know what colour though... black? White? Silver? Split rim? Hmmm...

[Chris]

if you're able to do it, betty, what sort of cost are we looking at? :)

[betty02]

ive got all measuremeants and stuff done now so just a case of getting it done! i am right in saying it the bottom color coded bit of the bumper people are after? if so thats what ive got measured up will try get one made up this week, they look tricky to apply but then again i just supply them so some people will be better at it then others!

Figners cost will have pics and price (will be cheap and then cheaper for TwingoOC Premium members)

So will keep you all up to date, its all set up just ready to sedn to the plotter when i next have time!

[Graham]

Ah coolios, nice one betty02!!! Any news on the colours available, want matte/matt black :P ;)

Yea, the bottom coloured bit is what i'm after!!

Applying, give the vinyl a quick blast with a hairdryer so it becomes warm. Lightly squirt the area with very very mild soapy water! This way, you can manouvere the vinyl around untill your happy with it! Then get a squeegy (or credit card wrapped in a soft cloth) and gently squeeze the water out!! Quick blast with the hair dryer again, then jobs done!!

Yeah matte/matt vinyl is on order, ive opnly ordered a small amount to test with but i can get out around 10 of the lower lips in around 2 weeks thats once ive finished them, like i say never needed to use it and wont be using one on my car and like i said in the PM about yours still stands if your happy wioth that?

[Sammi]

I may also attempt this. knowing me i will make a complete hash of it! but worth a go :) thanx for sorting them out 4 us betty :)

Aha, just read the PM ;) :D

Yea that all sounds cool!! As sammi said, thanks for doing this :) :)!!

[big jim]

i had a quote of approx £30 for the front (lower lip and behind the number plate) by a professional sign company, although i'm only going to get the bottom piece done now.

they quoted me using a special heavy duty vinyl that can be heat treated as its fitted as it needs to be very strong and flexable to be able to be properly curved around the lines of the car without causing any bubbling or tearing, its also very hard wearing and colourfast.

i think as i cant afford the front bumper spoiler for a while i may well pursue it again in the next few weeks

[minijay]

£30, thats not bad... I might go all 70's and have a vinyl roof :D (joking)

Actually, now that I think about it... that would look quite good :D

Maybe not?

Thanks Betty!! When they're all ordered, I'd like my set, bottom lip and behind numberplate!! Thankyou ;)

[Dazmoto]

How about a matt carbon fibre cover kit for the lower lip and behind the number plate? With strong 3M tape to hold it on? Id buy it tmw if i could.

Search eBay, got carbon fibre vinyl on there!!

I wanted matt black, none on there when i looked!! Only got gloss!!

[Dazmoto]

Not so much vinyl but real carbon fibre

[betty02]

My carbon fibre vinyl got delviered today i ordered m,att black with it which hasn't arrived for some reason so will be chasing that up, i was in hospital most of the day yesterday so wasn't able to get on or use the vinyl machine obviously.


Jim the problem with heated vinyl is getting it off again but it should all curve around fine anyway without bubbling, we will soon find out hopefully get graham sent off tommorow (fingers crossed) an for the set of behind reg plate and for the lower lip i will say around £25 delviered
