NEWS FROM RENAULT CARDIFF
For immediate release: 13th March, 2012
Two Renault Twingos sporting the national flags of Wales and France will take to the streets of Cardiff as the Six Nations rugby tournament touches down in the city.
The stylish new cars have been specially wrapped in heat-treated vinyl at Renault Cardiff to form the colours and patterns of the famous Welsh dragon and the distinctive red, white and blue of France - the home of Renault.
Thousands of rugby fans will see both cars driven around the city when the two countries clash at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, 17th March.
New Car Sales Executive and former Swansea City footballer, Darren Perrett, came up with the novel idea to tie in with Renault’s French heritage and celebrate the match as it is held less than two miles from the dealership in Penarth Road.
The keen sportsman also recently discovered he had French ancestors which encouraged him to follow France in the Six Nations.
He said: “With Renault being a French company and my own new-found support for the French rugby team, I thought it would be fun to make the fans feel at home when they arrive here for the match.
“What bolder and better way to show support than to dress up one of our stylish new-look Twingos with the French Tricolor and take to the streets.”
Following Darren’s idea to lend support to the French, New Car Sales Manager, Leigh McGrath, decided the dealership should also decorate a second Twingo with the Welsh flag - representing the Cardiff dealership and his own love for the rugby team.
“I will be backing Wales at the Millennium Stadium this time”, he said. “but it is great that Renault Cardiff are able to get behind both teams.”
The cars being used to support the rugby teams are both new-look Twingos, following Renault’s revamp of the car for 2012.
The more economical and stylish looking Twingos are inspired by Renault’s new design identity and changes include lower fuel consumption, a new front end, enlarged diamond logo, new seat patterns and two new exterior colours – Fuchsia and Bermuda Blue.
New Twingo features an exciting brand new collection of five roof decals, so, like Renault Cardiff, you can give yours its own unique make-over. Two of the decals can be coordinated with the interior and upholstery.
Customers can also choose different colours for the door mirrors and tips of the protective side mouldings, with colours which contrast with the main body colour. The cars can also feature 17 different alloy wheel and wheel trim options and the choice of an electrically-operated fabric sunroof.
The two Renault Twingos decorated with the French and Welsh flags will be on sale after the match.
