As the engine is running OK at operating temperature, it could be the engine temperature transmitter. If this is shorted out, the engine thinks it's hot when it's not. The mixture will be too weak for a cold start and will run badly.
Cost about £13. Can be tested easily tested with a meter. On citroens they are Green and have the following characteristics - 4,600 ohms at 0 degC., 2,800 ohms at 20 degC., 150 ohms at 100 degC.
Simple to change.
