Bought a Inoxcar Stainless backbox today, in very good condition & sounds the part. Gives the Aygo a good presence without being too loud.
Looks very good, needed some longer exhaust mount rubbers which I had lying around. Else the exhaust would hit the rear bumper (or need for a small cutout)

And the end result!
The Aygo has pretty flimsy doors, which don’t help much with the sound quality of your sound system & background noise when you are driving your car. I bought some sound proofing on eBay & added it on the front + rear doors & spare tire well.
Sound quality has been improved greatly & road noise has been reduced. All in all a must have mod for your Toyota Aygo / Peugeot 107 or Citroen C1.
Replaced the license plate lights with CREE LEDs for better visibility. Thanks to Aliexpress for some good priced CREE LEDs!
Also bought a vinyl decal to warn other drivers that I’m driving a slow automobile 😉 Especially handy when driving “hypermile” or “ecomodder” style.

Decided to change the transmission fluid / oil with some fresh new fluids / oil on the Toyota Aygo (also applies to Citroen C1 / Peugeot 107). Can only have a positive effect on changing gears and fuel economy. It’s an easy job which should take you between 30-60 minutes. Fluid used: Castrol 75W90 Syntrans Universal Plus (1.7L needed).
First make sure that you try to undo the filler nut first (always!). The filler nut can be found at the front of the engine, right behind the radiator / fan.
This is the location of the draining plug. Has the same size as the filler nut and is easily accessible.
After draining (let it drain for 10-15 minutes), redo the draining nut and prepare for refilling. Make sure the diameter of the filling hose is smaller than the filling port, as this will increase the filling speed significantly.
This is how I filled the transmission again.
Results, super smooth gear changes! Have to comment on fuel economy, as it is too soon to tell.

Besloten om de transmissie / bakolie zelf te vervangen met verse olie / vloeistoffen. Kan alleen maar een positief effect hebben op het schakelgedrag en het verbruik van de Aygo. Dit is een klusje wat je prima zelf kan doen en kost je ongeveer 30-60 minuten. Gekozen vloeistof: Castrol 75W90 Syntrans Universal Plus (1.7 liter benodigd voor een schakelbak, 1.4 liter voor een automaat).
Als je een vloeistof kiest, zorg er dan voor dat de vloeistof voldoet aan de API GL-4 standaard.
Zorg er altijd voor dat je de bout van het vulgat eerst loshaalt voordat je de boel laat leeglopen! De bout voor het vullen heeft dezelfde afmeting als de drain plug. Als je gaat bijvullen, zorg dan dat de diameter van de slang een stukje kleiner is dan het vulgat, dat helpt met de snelheid van het vullen.
Added a new dual exhaust tip to my trusty Toyota Aygo (Citybug). Not 100% satisfied with the fitment, will need to do some modding to get the look right. But the build quality is a lot better than the old one.
