Twingo 133 Detail. It's also for sale...

[Christopher]

I finally got around to detailing the 133 today. I had an early start after the F1 quali and started around 10am.

I won't bore you with the process, but the car was machine polished using a G220 then sealed/waxed/trimmed using my favourite bits.

The engine bay and arches were dressed and I also shampooed the interior.

Topped off with good old Zymol Carbon.

Total time: around eight hours. In 26 degree heat. :dapprove:

I'm really pleased with the results and hopefully the new owner will too.

The car's now 100% standard and all I've added since the last pictures are the fresh plates. I've also removed the stripes. Much better now IMO.

Link to advert.

I then took a few pictures at my parent's place, followed by a place I've been before when I owned the 182.

I'm off for a curry now. Knackered.

zymol carbon is great on red, had a red honda in today for detail, topped off with carbon

twingo looks great!

 

[Craig.]

Looks great Chris really does, I've got a massive soft spot for 133s in red.

Have you got a pic of it on the lowering springs?

Unfortunately not mate, I never got around to it and they were only on for a couple of months.

 

[Jordi17]

Nice motor.

 

[NFox]

Looks great Chris, I too have a soft spot for the 133s!

 

[Jon.G]

Awesome. Mine needs a proper correction soon!

Carbon on 727 FTW.

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, it looks great on most reds!

I found the same when I used it on the Trophy.

If it's nice tomorrow I'll try it out on Nimbus. It should be pretty good as it likes darker colours. I'll need to find a decent photo location.

Twingo looks ace Chris. That cut in the arch for the filler cap was something we all moaned about when we went to France to see the car while it was still in development though.

 

[Christopher]

Lol yeah, it's not ideal

 

[Gally]

Superb Christoph! Love the colour.

Car just looks perfect, anyone buying will be getting the best example out there.

 

[IceBerg182]

Looks like new again bud.

These are great little cars, better chassis than the 1*2 in my opinion. Had a good blast in the old mans Silverstone 133 and was well impressed.

Cheers mate! It's probably the best available. It'll be sad for it to go to a dealership... if it doesn't sell though then it'll have to be part-exchanged. :dapprove:

 

[AK]

Looks good mate.

 

[.LiamC.]

Looks perfect! Really love the 133's in red, wish i had got one instead of my 182 really..

 

[Jay.]

Looks real fresh dude!

Nice motor.

 

[Stefan.]

looks a real nice car, i do have a soft spot for these little cheeky twingo's i would have one in white :evil:

 

[ColinG]

Rubbish cars

 

[Joe#]

Lovely example Chris.

It's a shame the car's going, but the 200 will be perfect.

 

[Matt Cup]

That is tidy as f**k!

Whoever buys that will be getting a minter!

 

[Christopher]

Thanks a lot. It's going on Pistonheads today so we'll see how it goes!

 

[Kane.]

Saw my first one of these the other day.

Looks mint, shame you can't keep it along with the 200

 

[Christopher]

Lol. We would if we could!

 

[JamesT87]

That looks incredible chap. Id love one of these!

 

[chriscummins7]

This would be top of my list if I was looking to slightly lower the running costs over a 1*2.

Looks stunning mate!

Fantastic car, the buyer will be one happy chappy. GLWS

 

[Christopher]

Cheers.

 

[Will.]

Looks lovely. Good luck with the sale mate. I'm sure it will be gone in no time. And then.......200!

 

[Jimbo_M]

Great work dude that looks stunning!

 

[Christopher]

It's going on Pistonheads now. I'd be willing to be more flexible for a CS member though.

 

[Christopher]

Now live on Pistonheads.

[N0ddie]

Looks damn good Chris. Washed ours today but no-where near that shiny lol.

 

[VIICarCare]

that is mint! Good luck with the sale

 

[MattT]

Nice! Polished up well too.

Whereabouts is the place you took it - just out of interest!

 

[poobah]

That is awesome. Top work squire!

Love a good Twingo RS.

 

[Naith]

so much love for this car..

 

[Silent_Scone]

Tidy as feck. Nice work dude

 

[JoeyD]

Lovely work! That should sell in no time. Would like to have seen it with the spacers on though!

 

[Christopher]

I never properly fitted them, only on the driveway. I needed longer bolts and never got round to buying them before I ordered the 200.

Thanks for the replies!

First two pics are at my parent's place in Eagley near Bolton.

Second lot are near the locks on Ancoats in Manchester city centre.

 

[Munson]

Cool cars. I remember a grey one (I think) on here with 5-spoke alloys (15"?) and it looked great.

Presumably someone has fitted a 182 motor into one of these?
