Finally decided it was time to move on from the corsas after 3 years of ownership

Been looking at these for a few weeks and finally found one i liked, Test drove it last monday and bought it friday, done about 350 miles in it since then (200~ country roads, 150~ Motorway), there is soo much difference compared to the corsa, the way it handles, throttle response, acceleration...

Picking it up

New vs Old

and a couple after a clean

Renault Twingo RS Cup 1.6 vvti in Capsicum Red with the 17" Cup alloys

Absolutely LOVE it

Nice cars quite quick for a 1.6 as well. Best mate had one that was never out the garage though , rattles and steering issues that never got resolved , got rid in the end.

Look so much better than the horrid facelift versions.

Can't help but think it needs lowering just a smidge tho, not loads just a little bit.

Thanks Guys!

The facelift is horrible!

It does need that extra 20mm but just got to wait, i like the way it feels at the moment!

Are you going to spray the fog light surrounds? imo they looks cheap.

They're being changed to carbon fibre surrounds, same as the mirrors and spoiler

Also what a waste of space where the spot/fog lights are, could've fitted DRL's there also.

Someone on twingo133.net is supposed to be trying to make some with the fogs in the same position

I think the new ones are hideous, don't see why anyone would 'down-grade' effectively
