Hello everyone!

My name is Júnior, I'm from Brazil and I recently bought a C6. Citroen sold very few units here in Brazil, just 41 units, all with petrol V6 engine. the cars sold here were all Exclusive trim but they were almost all equiped with the 17 Rivazza wheels instead of the Roccastrada ones, and the simpler computer from the basic C6 instead of the RT3, none came with LDWS (dont know why) and my unit also dont have the sunroof. Is it possibly for me to install these accessories?

Welcome Júnior, petrol V6's are rare in the UK.

Upgrading the 'basic' system, I thought RT3 was the basic one, so do you mean upgrade to RT4? If so, there is a guide on site, however you have to remember that the maps themselves are well out of date now so it's probably better to simply use a TomTom or Google Maps via a phone if it's up-to-date navigation you want.

LDWS, well most owners simply turn it off as it becomes annoying, and the retro fit might be difficult if the motors for the vibration are not in place under the seats, plus you would need the optical sensors under the front bumper plus you would need Lexia/Diagbox to enable them.

Sunroof, well, I would guess that would be the most difficult if you wanted the OEM one. You would need to find a complete roof panel and would have to remove front and rear screens to fit it, oh and a sunroof headlining.

Wheels though would be a simple swap, if you can find the ones you want in Brazil.

Sorry to sound rather negative on the above but given the number of C6's in Brazil finding what you are after won't be easy and all would involve a lot of work. Personally, I would enjoy the car as it is.
