Personalized car. How to customize the appearance of the car to your preferences?

Many car buyers expect the chosen car to stand out from other cars of the same make. Automakers are ready for this and offer cars in various modifications or stylistic packages.

The design of the car is one of the key elements when choosing this car. I think every driver wants to drive a car that attracts attention. For some, this is even a priority. And they do not mean tuning, but a professional improvement in the appearance of a car with accessories offered by its manufacturer, as a rule, in the form of a so-called. styling packages.

Until recently, styling packages were mainly reserved for higher-end vehicles. Now they are available in more popular segments. Skoda, for example, has such an offer in its catalog. You can choose a wide range of stylistic accessories for each model of this brand. The offer also includes special packages that, in addition to accessories and color options, also include equipment items that increase the functionality of the car or driving comfort. Finally, there are special versions of models that stand out for their sporty exterior and interior.

Small but with character

Starting with the smallest Citigo model, the buyer can personalize its appearance. This is one of the few models in its class that offers a wide range of body and interior customization. For example, you can set the roof color to white or black. In this version, the side mirror housings will also be the same color as the roof.

The interior of the Citigo can also be personalized. For example, in the Dynamic package, the center of the dashboard is painted black or white. Thus, the color of the dashboard can be matched to the color of the roof.

The Citigo can also be ordered in a sporty Monte Carlo version, where the dynamic character of the body is enhanced by a modified front spoiler with fog lamps. Sports details can also be seen at the rear: a black spoiler lip on the roof edge and a bumper with spoiler lip and integrated diffuser. The grille frame and exterior mirror housings are also finished in sporty black, while the rear windshield and rear windows

doorways are tinted. In addition, the Monte Carlo version features a 15 mm lower suspension and 16-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the Monte Carlo version features upholstery with contrasting dark gray stripes down the center and sides, while red stitching adorns the leather-wrapped three-spoke sports steering wheel, handbrake and gear levers. A black instrument panel with chrome surround for the radio and air vents, and carpets with red stitching complete the Citigo Monte Carlo rally styling.

Color and accessories in packages

A Monte Carlo version is also available for the Fabia. Also in this case, recognizable stylistic elements are black accessories such as the grille, mirror housings, side skirts, front and rear bumper covers. A panoramic sunroof is also standard.

In the cabin, two primary colors are intertwined - black and red. The steering wheel and gear lever are wrapped in perforated leather. The unique style of the interior is emphasized by decorative strips on the thresholds and dashboard, as well as decorative lining on the pedals.

The Skoda Fabia is also available in the Black Edition, which features a black mother-of-pearl finish on the exterior. 17-inch aluminum wheels are matched to this color. The interior features a black center console, black sports seats with integrated headrests and a three-spoke sports steering wheel with leather upholstery, chrome accents and Piano Black decor.

Fabia buyers who want to distinguish their car from other models can also choose from numerous packages that include both styling and equipment items.

The package also includes rear parking sensors and a twilight sensor.

Two styling packages - Sport and Black - deserve attention in the Rapid lineup. In the first case, the body is equipped with a radiator grille, side mirrors and a rear diffuser painted in black. In addition, a spoiler is installed on the tailgate - black on the Rapida Spaceback and body color on the Rapida Spaceback. In the interior, the package includes black headlining. On the other hand, the Rapid in the Black package features a black-painted grille and side mirrors.

Customers of the Octavia can also opt for a package that gives the interior a personal touch. This is, for example, the Dynamic package, which includes, among other things, sports seats, a three-spoke steering wheel and accessories in one of two colors - red or gray.

The Octavia range also includes an exterior styling package. It's called the Sport Look Black II and features a carbon-fiber-style decorative film on the car's sides and trunk lid, black mirror caps and a body-colored roof spoiler.

In Skoda, an SUV can also look more dynamic.

In this color there are, among other things, mirror housings, a radiator grille, small details on the bumpers or an aerodynamic trim on the rear window.

The Kodiaq Sportline also received a host of additional interior items: sports seats, upholstery in part from Alcantara and leather with silver stitching, and silver pedals.
