  • Auto Lights and Windscreen Wipers

    Would anybody know the cost to have this fitted?

    I know that the D Style Plus comes with it as standard.

    If it's silly money, then it's old fashioned used

    Thanks

    I think this question's been asked before & the consensus was that it would be an expensive job, as it would require the fitting of light & rain sensors plus programming, although the required wiring will probably already be in place.

      Cheers Dave, I am not up for expensive and time consuming

        Not just that you will need a whole new windscreen to boot.

          If you had a slave in the car to act as a cupholder, they could flick the wipers when needed as well!

            That just finished it for me.

            A shame that Citroen do all these good things, but dont add things that are basics on basic cars now.

              Not sure if something like this would be any help?

                Curious, what basic cars come with auto lights and wipers these days ? I know that my previous Astra SRi came with neither....

                  I think Rolls Royce has this feature as standard across it range....

                      Almost all the equivalent Sport models I looked at came with HID's and Auto Lights and Windscreen Wipers

                        Ok, I was :confused: as you said basic cars, I thought you meant starter models

                          I had a fiesta zetec s tdci until January, that was supposed to be a 'sporty' car, it didn't have any nice extras, no cruise, automatic lights, wipers, Bluetooth, parking sensors.....nothing really. I didn't check the spec on the car when I bought it as it was through a friend who owned a car dealership, therefore my own fault, lesson learned, not all 'sporty' models are fully kitted up!

                            A way back, sporty models were often lacking the extras to reduce weight and make them more sporty ! If you wanted the bells and whistles you had to buy the luxury versions instead

                              Luckily with a DSport Plus you can have both
