Oh Dear!

[ham's c4vts]

Oh Dear, Citroen have done a special edition C2 and C4 by Lobe.

The C4 to me looks a bit naff in red with white wheels and colour coded spoiler and also citroen logos on head rests. ;)

It looks loads better in this photo of Rich's car.

C2 Looks ok...

 

C4 No no no no no...white wheels??! ;) Good luck to who ever cleans them. :lol:

 

Also not liking the body colour spoiler either, it just doesnt "look right".

 

Red stiching on the gear lever gaiter - yes

Red Panel on seats...no

 

Whats the spec on the car? Is it a 1.6 with add ons?

[ham's c4vts]

Not sure theres not much info, makes the car look a bit chav imo.

[Rich_Eason]

I agree.

 

Looks a bit of a "sunday afternoon at the design office and not much to do" special addtion.

 

The red seats just look too red (is that possible?!) and cheap.

 

The spoiler spoils it for me I'm affraid. I think it spoils the shape of the car and almost looks less prominent and disguised within the surrounding colour.

The C4 looks alright to me, but I would have thought that they'd have at least put a little more effort in - I.E would have been nice to merge a few of the WRC C4 features into it, for example wider arches.

[Rich_Eason]

But what wheels in the PSA range would fill the extended arches, I owuldnt have thougth they'd want to introduce non standard parts....

 

I.E would have been nice to merge a few of the WRC C4 features into it, for example wider arches

 

...harnesses....stripped out interior......alloy filler cap yada yada yada ;)

[ham's c4vts]

you would think that they would make it resemble the C4 WRC, different wheels (maybe multi spokes).

possibly stick this new 1.6 turbo engine into it that wozza keeps talking about?

[Rich_Eason]

Just imagine if they stuck a 1.4 in it. All show and zero go.

 

Me I am not a fan as by now you have probably figured out!

easy tiger!! there is nothing wrong with the 1.4. In the right hands I.E mine I reckon I could shake up the pecking order a bit, get you VTS owners of your high horses ;)

 

back to topic...there are some nice touches...I like the stickers under the wing mirrors and badges. It should be a WRC special, with the full bodykit wheels spoiler the lot...

Sorry Stuey... ;)

 

For a start yours will probably go farther on a tank of fuel!

 

Yeah the decals are nice just think they could have done soemthing with it a bit to make it a bit more out of the ordinary...

 

be a WRC special

Did they do anything like this with the Xsara?

[Stuey]

If you are going to do a special then make it special. Something out of the ordinary. Citroen already make cars that only atract a small section of the market why not make a car that will only atract a small amount of those people. A niche within a niche so to speak??

 

Like I said a full WRC bodykit and with the decal set from the concept car you know the big orange and red citroen sport one.

 

Ford proved that outlandish works, look at the Escort Cosworth, bright orange focus ST, RS2000.

 

They never did anything with the Xsara and it is looking like they will do nothing with the C4. Look at Subaru, the make no apologies for the fact that the quick impreza's are put together with gaffa tape, spit and hope but they sell loads off the back of rallying.

 

rant over...

[Welshguy]

Just imagine if they stuck a 1.4 in it. All show and zero go.

 

Excuse me ? ;)

 

well...ok....

 

My car looks better than your car !!! :lol:

 

/Runs Away....

[Mike5483]

Id love the C4, I love all the garish reds and white wheels!!!

 

Anyway, the interior isnt that red, have you ever seen the interior of a Rover BRM 200!!!

 

I assume it is a VTS in drag???

[wozza]

See I like red interiors be nicer if it was leather though and the red found it way onto the door panels. I got as close as I could get to red seats when I got mine by getting the orange mesh.

 

White wheels well I was white wheels but not the standard 17's. All they had to do was go for some 18" OZ Super tourismo wheels think it would have probably looked spot on then. Oh and left the spoiler black. Looks wrong colour coded. With it being black it blends into the rear so much better.
