Some of my modifications

Extra switch for the interior light
Standard the interior light is not switched on when you open the passengerdoor.
To solved this problem I installed an extra switch at the passenger side of the car.
When you have all the materials it is a very small job to fix the problem.

I made a webpage with a lot of info and pictures about this modification.
Click here for more info (sorry it's only available in Dutch right now).

Here you see a picture of the extra switch at the passenger side of the car.



Extra light unit in the boot of the car
One of the missing things of the CityBug is some kind of light in the boot.
To solve this problem I installed a light unit in the boot of the car (trunk light).
The light can be switched on and off manually.
I used the wiring of the interior light to power the light in the boot.

Here you see a picture of the extra light unit in the boot of the car.



Extra light in the glovebox
Personally I think it's nice to have some light in the glovebox.
To solve this problem I installed a battery powered light in the glovebox.

Here you see a picture of the light in the glovebox.



Interior light delay dimmer
Standard the interior light is switched off when you close the door.
Personally I think it's nice to have some light when you get into the car.
To solve this problem I installed an interiour delay dimmer.
I bought the delay dimmer at Conrad Electronics.
The interior light will stay on and is fading out in approx. 20 seconds.

Here you see a picture of the interior light delay dimmer.



HID Bi-Xenon H4 Hi/Low 8.000K Conversion Kit
To upgrade the lighting of my CityBug I installed a HID Bi-Xenon H4 Hi/Low 8.000K conversion kit.
I made a webpage with a lot of info and pictures about this modification.

Here you see some pictures of the HID Bi-Xenon H4 Hi/Low kit.





Super white LED parking lights
I bought a set super white LED parking lights to match the color of my Bi-Xenon light.

Here you see some pictures of the super white LED parking lights.



Flat blade wiper
I bought a flat blade wiper because I think it looks better that the standard wiperblade.
The flat blade wiper is the same size as the standard wiper blade, size 26"/650mm.

Here you see some pictures of the flat blade wiper.



Fiat Punto rear wiper modification
The standard rear wiper is a little bit small and I don't like the design very much.
On many CityBug forums you can find topics about larger wiperblades for the rear wiper.
But in most case the wiperblade is too long an the left side of the wiper so that's no option for me.

After thinking about it I decided to take a rear wiper from a Fiat Punto (MkI MkII are good).
I like this rear wiper because of the nice and sharp design.

The standard wiperblade is 30cm/12" long and the wiperblade of the Punto wiper is 32,5cm/13" long.
The wiper arm and the wiperblade are a little bit longer than standard wiper arm and wiperblade.

There is only a small difference in mounting the wiper arms.
The standard wiper arm is mounted on a 8mm bolt.
And the Punto wiper arm is mounted on a 6mm bolt.
So you have to drill the hole in the Punto wiper arm a little bit larger.
When you have done that, the Punto wiper arm can be mounted.

Here you see some pictures of the Punto rear wiper modification.



Short Peugeot radio antenna
The standard radio antenna of the CityBug is very long and sweepy.
To solve this problem I installed a short radio antenna from Peugeot.
This type of antenna is used for the Peugeot 106/206/306/406.
Partnumber Peugeot: 6561.97 - It's 100% plug & play.

Here you see a picture of the short radio antenna.



Chrome polished gearknob and custom made leather gear gaiter
I bought a chrome polished gearknob for my Peugeot 107 because I like it better than the original gearknob.
Because I don't like the the original gear gaiter and I think it's too small I made a custom leather gear gaiter myself.
The leather of the gear gaiter is tight in the chrome gearknob so it can not come down.

Here you see a picture of the chrome polished gearknob and the custom made leather gear gaiter.
