1150 Wigo "Upgrades" Wishlist

Yes, I know I just did a Wigo post about upgrades so I'll just re-write them here (so I also have a blog post for May, obviously).

  1. Horn upgrade. Like I wrote before, the Wigo's stock horn (literally just one horn, I just checked under the hood earlier) is too weak to be useful. I'm not planning on getting two sets of horns because that would just be inconsiderate (though I have seen some videos on YT showing cars with four Bosch Europa horns, which I think is a dick move) and stupid. I just need a decent, easily heard horn that can make my car's presence felt.
  2. Speakers upgrade. Again I've written this before and it would be great to upgrade the four speakers inside the Wigo with some co-axials speakers. If it would be possible to add a small amplifier to improve the quality then great.
  3. V-Kool tint. I believe V-Kool has this tint that is almost clear but very effective in reducing heat inside the car. I want this, since even with the current tint I do struggle at times with visibility when checking the side mirrors and rear windshield.
  4. Fog lamps. I'm happy with the headlights now but I haven't driven in heavy rains nor fog. This would be a helpful upgrade when the going gets tough.
  5. Roof rack to mount roof rack accessories. I'm not sure what is compatible for the Wigo since it has no roof rails. If Thule had a one-size-fits-all roof rack system that would be my choice, so I can get a roof cargo box, a roof basket, and a roof bike rack.
  6. Rims. Pako Wheels has a rim for the Wigo. I'm just not sure if these are available in 15 inches since I'd rather stay within specs when getting new rims. Plus I'd rather not have to go with really low profile tires to keep the comfort of the car. I also don't know if there are dealers locally.
And those are the upgrades I'd want for the Wigo. In order of preference/priority.

Out.
