Pimped out Citi Golf

In my previous article I mentioned the end of an era, the end of the Citi Golf Mk1, as well as how the Citi Golf is loved by many, and pimped out by many. I found this Golf parked near the one in my previous article – the rims were so awesome that I just had to take a photo!

Do you see what I mean about people loving their Citi Golfs? I mean, who would do this to a Fiat Uno, Honda Jazz, or some other small car? Probably very few. In Cape Town you’ll often find guys driving Citi Golfs that have been uniquely customised. When I see these cars, I catch myself thinking, “why not just buy a nicer car instead of spending so much money on pimping out your Golf?”. I’ve however come to believe that it must simply be a matter of perspective, the sense of unique identity that it gives, and a love for the car that causes people to spend thousands of rands adding these kind of trimmings to their Citi Golf.
