Citan Bodykit Design for Hartmann Tuning

The recent styling concepts for the new Mercedes Citan were very well received. And one step led to another. Hartmann Tuning aka Vansports – a specialist in Van and Transporter styling – asked for their own bodykit design for the Mercedes Citan. Hartmann required the parts to reflect their current design philosophy and easy (self)installation for customers. The bodykit consists of a front spoiler, LED-unit for the grille, side skirts and rear valance. Physical implementation will start as soon as the first Mercedes Citan production models are out.
