We have seen a wide body kit for Smart ForTwo by Königseder and an upgrade kit by Carlsson.
So this shouldn’t come as a surprise that tuners are already working on the new Toyota iQ.

iQ is for people who care about the fuel-efficiency not the performance and most likely do most of their driving in the city traffic. So if people want something, it’s visual changes not extra horses to run under the hood.

Surely it sounds odd at first that someone would want to add a body-kit and bigger wheels on their iQ, but if iQ gets as popular as Smart and you see them everywhere, then little visual modifications wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Japanese tuner Modelista has not changed much on the iQ, but by adding yellow(or silver) accents around the side mirrors, on the doors and front grille definitely has made it more interesting. Yellow accent on the trunk is too much and if it was up to us, we would get rid of it. Also they have redesigned the front spoiler and added there an extra pair of lights.

We expect to see more tuning kits for the iQ soon after it hits the dealerships.
