Newbie here - due pick the car up mid-week so thought I’d join up in readiness for questions and research as I get to know the car and enjoy it.

Looks like a nice clean example, nice one 😉

 

[Scoobimax]

Thanks - it’s not too bad. I have a few plans for it that may not go down too well but nothing extreme - I don’t want to trash it’s standing but it will be tracked and personalised a little but all reversible.

Welcome! You'll have a lot of fun in that!

Welcome, stunning colour in the flesh loved my twingo when it was clean.

What's your plans

What's your plans

Remove the back seats, may be rear / front strut braces, eplace the white detail - stripes, front vein and mirror caps with anthracite, and sone sticky tyres for track use.

will be seeking some ideas from others - I want everything to be reversible.

I wouldn't bother with the strut braces, no improvement to be had. Just make sure you don't want to put the stripes back on as they are over £300 from Renault, if they are still available! that's why I left them on my Twingo

The roof and bonnet are no longer original so I figured already lost on that score

It’s painful waiting I can tell you.

This looks epic!

If it was in dog form, it would be a hyper-angry, snapping French bulldog with a bucketload of attitude!
