They did a good job... but be sure to watch for the detalis in your Twingo's repair service: The guys at the german garage got the wrong headlamps and turn...
Gabriel, I noticed that, too. :) I'm definitely one for the details! Luckily, all my lights are intact, so it's just metalwork and rear bumpers. Twingo-freak, ...

Hello all. My name is Carlos, ad I am a new Twingo owner, living in Brazil. It is amazing how quickly we can fall in love for a car. I bought my Twingo cheap,...
Hello. Given that the break system for the Twingos are not exactly state of the art, I thought of modifying it, to a more efficient disk-and-pads set, but I am...
Hello Carlos I am from Brazil too and a have a very good and perfect Twingo 1995. Did you look for the parts at mercadolivre.com.br? There is some over there. ...

Hello, António ! Great to hear from our Portuguese fellows ! Congratulations for the excellent Twingo. One quick question: You mentioned dealers/distributors...
Carlos, i know for a fact that the R19 has ventilated front discs the same diameter as the twingo's solid ones. If you manage no buy the calipers of a R19 1.6,...
Thank you guys for the tips. Indeed, the modification is comng along a bit more difficult thatn I thought. I was planning using the ventilated discs from the...
if the piston diameter of the caliper is the same as the original, the line pressure must be the same. The 16v version uses ventilated discs? are you sure. I...
Hey there. As I mentioned before, it seem to me that 16v Twingos have a different break system than the 8v ones. Can anyone out there tell me if the break...
Well, Guilherme, I have to admit that the information about the ventilated disks is not very official. It comes from a couple of adds I saw on ebay like the...

Capriotti, the discs that surely fit are the R19 1.6 ones. Easily found anywhere in Brazil, and relatively cheap. The main issue is the brake calipers, which...
