Twingo Twingo project?

Was looking at this earlier, is white rare for these? Was looking at it as a potential project (amongst other Renaults) for my daughter and I to get into for track days. Would the cost of body parts plus paint supercede say the cost of buying another complete the same age. I'm quite drawn to the Glacier White and anthracite wheel combo. What with the potential for engine swaps or boost it could tick the box as a summer project.

Look at this on eBay RENAULT TWINGO 1.6 RS 133 Renaultsport 2010 10 REG DAMAGED REPAIRABLE SALVAGE | eBay
 
I'd rather buy a non-stacked one at this sort of cash mate - same colour too.

Thats got a bent front crossmember and you would have to plan for chassis rail issues too (you might get lucky but never assume), then add all the panels, lights etc and an airbag.... it's not cheap enough i'd want it down at £500. Pics were taken with a potato too which means i'd assume it's a bit rough around the rest of the car.
 
just be aware that the rs has a few specific parts that in time might cost a fair bit to source. plenty can be swapped off others though. go for a GT 😉

Funny you should say that as I came across this, Twingo Turbo on Turinis and coilovers for 2k

not a bad shout. cheaper to run and insure that an rs, front brakes aren't much cop though. every mechanical part can be found cheaply off other Renault. chuck a little more at it and I'll sell you mine 😁

How much more 😁 I've sent her the above photo and she thinks it's quite cool but dare say her mum will intervene with the sensible t shirt on 🙄 she's definitely looking at a replacement for the Clio. I was quite happy to buy something as a project or something like above to get her into track days with me.
