If you are in the market for a new Citroen, you might have to consider the C3, C3 Aircross or C5 Aircross models. A new C4 has been unveiled internationally but have not yet been confirmed for the local market. Alternatively, you could consider pricing up a used Citroen C4 model with some functional extras to bolster the ownership experience.
Now while there are plenty of aftermarket parts available, we always try to go for the original manufacturer items. This, however, means that you might have to look overseas, but in the age of the internet, it's not difficult. We found this website https://citroen-shop.eu/gb to offer extras on even older Citroen models.
1. Wheel covers
One of the first ways in which you can spruce up your Citroen C4 is fitting new wheel covers. It is an affordable way to give the exterior a new appearance. There are plenty of designs available ranging from ones that were around at the time of the C4's introduction and newer styles that fit with the current design language of the French automaker.
2. Bicycle rack
For those cycling whether professionally or just as a past-time activity, Citroen offers Thule bicycle racks for the C4 model. They come in two specifications providing space for either two or three bicycles. Incorporating a pedal tilt mechanism means that even with the rack fitted, vehicle owners can still easily access the luggage compartment.
The three-bike rack is capable of carrying up to 60kg in total, however, only weighs 19kg itself. It comes with built-in lamps as well as a bike lock function to secure your bicycles for when you won't be close to your vehicle.
3. Roof bars
Another helpful purchase for those looking to increase the luggage capacity of their Citroen C4 is roof bars. The set of 2 transverse roof bars is manufactured with anodised aluminium and securely fits the roof mounting points. Each is also lockable by key at each base for improved security. The roof bars are capable of carrying 80kg and have been crash-tested to ensure occupant and pedestrian safety.
4. Rubber mats
While sure, you can find rubber mats that will fit your Citroen C4 at almost any motoring spares shop, will they fit your C4 as well as the originally designed rubber mats offered by Citroen? Whether you opt for the real thing or aftermarket mats, try and find mats that have a perimeter wall to trap any dirt that is stepped into the vehicle.
Not only will this make cleaning your vehicle much easier but should an occupant accidentally spill fluids, they are contained and won't be absorbed by the carpeting.
5. Rear bench cover
Do you often transport dirty or even damp objects on the rear bench? Then maybe consider getting a cover. The one offered by Citroen is a waterproof coated black cloth with securing pieces at the edges. The cover attaches to the headrests of the front seats as well as the headrest of the rear bench to create a hammock-like configuration.
Alternatively, it can mount to the ISOFIX mounting points on the rear bench to allow seated occupants in the rear. This cover is ideal for those carrying good regularly on the back seats or who has a pet and doesn't want the animal to scratch or tear the cloth seats during transportation.
6. Luggage tray
Last but not least on our list is the luggage tray. The tray not only protects the original carpeting from getting dirty, wet or torn but also conveniently separate smaller items into designated spaces. In combination with the anti-slip material, the aluminium separators immobilise goods from sliding around and getting damaged during transportation.
