Gooner_Mike's C4 VTR+ HDi

Well, the Ibiza has gone (Readers Ride thread HERE) and here are my new wheels: Citroen C4 VTR+ 1.6HDi.

Index of mods so far:
HIDs (6000k)
Debadged rear
Silver indicator bulbs (front)
Gloss black vinyl roof
Team Heko wind deflectors
Stubby aerial
Stickers
Winter grille
JOM coilovers
FlyEyes tinted lights
Bonnet bra
USB / iPod box
Gloss black rear Citroen badge
LED sidelight bulbs

Just for you Damo, a few from the bloke I got it off. Seems good so far.... obviously VERY different to the Ibiza. I'm enjoying the MPG and the toys so far.... Ride is good and I like the styling, always have. I looked at getting one when I bought the Ibiza 3 years ago.

New sticker...

Advise from Deisel person.

Exhaust will give you more torque!
Dont bother with air filters, paper one is fine.
Make sure you get a remap, increased torque will increase mpg when cruising on motorway.

Thanks jonjay. Probably leave the performance mods for a while though. Remap one day!

Cheers cupra.al! There are a few niggles I need to sort out first but happy so far. 50mpg helps!

R1ch85 said:

50mpg must feel pretty awesome after a 1.8T! I sure I barely get half that

Exactly. Just worked it out and I filled up the Ibiza 5 times last month at a cost of £269.86!

First mod done - HIDs

Well, fitted the HID kit from the Ibiza to the C4 yesterday. You thought the Ibiza was bad for bulb changes? Well I can confirm that the C4 is at least 5 times worse! Haven't driven at night yet but I know they are a great mod so I'm all happy. Tried the LED sidelight bulbs too but it seems most of them have blown while on the Ibiza so will have to get some new ones.

Quite fancy some LED running lights TBH.





Also fixed a air-con issue (the car blew hot out one side and cold out the other with the air-con on... weird) Found another forum with loads of help and FAQ guides etc. Its called c4owners.org and I already have the sticker! Anwway, a £10 part from Citroen and its all fixed.... happy days!
