Citigo -making things better-

[rumiexile 14]

Its been almost three years since we have a Citigo and the car is absolutely a rarity in our country. As I wish to make it better, I just tried to make things a little better in terms of looks and functionality. Here is my story about retrofitting things.

 

It's a Citigo 1.0 ASG + Sunroof Colorado Red, as a second car to my Skoda Superb.

 

 

Retrofits:

 

[EXT] 1ST 064 FL8 Metallic Black Race Stripes applied from the Sport version, It's a bit challenging to apply it with a sunroof.

[EXT] 1ST 071 494E FM9 Apus Metallic Black Rims

[EXT] As there is no option available as parking sensors a third party parking sensor installed with same colour. 

[EXT] As I'd  like to show jawbones on front spoiler I used some black foils at the bottom 

[EXT] Tinted Mirrors with films.

 

[iNT] One of the challenging thing is that our cars doesnt feature navigation unit. Even there is no place to fit it in. So using the guides for VW Up! series. I bought required cable sets and hardware. Using a craft knife, I gently cut the hole and after a challenging radio removal.  I installed everything using the guide:  http://www.upownersclub.co.uk/forum/retrofitting-maps-more-solved_topic1041_page3.html

 

My next challenge was Map doesn't include Turkey. I browsed for Android version of the Navigon. extracted .map file to the device and voila! it works including POI information. So maps updates are free for me forever.

 

[iNT] Finally as there is no light in the boot. I bought a Osram Nightlux Sensor Light which lights up immediately with the movement in the boot.

Good job, the stripes really enhance the citigo.

That looks superb, whereabouts and how did you mount the night light in the boot? Think this could be a good idea for when my wife needs the car at night.
