Checkout the good exterior body work

The all black roof is certainly interesting to see - these are one of the very few cars with the "floating panel"
roof that can be treated like this. I'm sure you have shown these pictures before - I do recall the very jazzy
pattern on the seats; it's certainly not a boring car to look at!!!

We've seen this one before.

The black roof works very well on this car. You need the tinted glass, to make it work properly though.

Better, lower mileage, more esthetic (original), less expensive models can be bought in Japan. Have said it before :D

Auto Junker (Citroeneer) has a photo of an S1 refurbished with genuine Italian leather and door cards. Looks beautiful. Must have cost a fortune!

Gawd, don't get me started on leather seats again... :roll:
if ever there was an example of style over content
- all car leather interiors would get the top prize.

Planting your backside on one in the depths of winter is akin
to sitting in the freezer until the glimmer of seat warmers
starts to kick it mercifully. Then come a bit of sunny weather
(yes occasionally it does happen here) the damn things are
equally as uncomfortable. Plus if you're a skinny ass like me
you slide around on the damned things so not a good idea if
you fancy 'spirited' driving. All told, for me there's no point;
velour does the job perfectly for me.

For the best seats known to man - these Cx ones will take some beating:

(last one is not mine - but it's cleaner!)

And speaking of black roofs - one of my Activae has had a similar treatment!

No idea why - nothing to do with me! Trying to look like a coupe?
