This is a customers car and he said i could add it to my garage!

Richard picked up his new 451 1 litr smart turbo in july but thought it just too conventional after his old 450 type smart

We had a chat and Richard  decided to make the smart car he had always wanted

We had a chat and pooled some ideas and i came up with the ideas

Understated

Not too in your face

Smart but smarter!

We decided on the following

S-mann front splitter, Side skirts, rear f1 style diffuser, rear roof spoiler

All to be colour coded

The suspension overhauled to have H&R lowered springs

The interior was very grey and mundae and so some colour was brought into it

Richard chose anthracite and jaffa orange leather

We decided to make the door cards 2 colour also!

Custom leather 2 tone re trim and some colour coding of the dash trims to spread the orange theme

A custom orange Smartarse design sticker was made too!

The final touch happened by chance, i had a call to say a new style of smart 451 wheel was being brought into the market and we got one of the first sets

16" Hi power silver alloy wheels (also available in black and black with polished silver too)

195 40 16 Toyo Proxy front tyres and 215 40 16 on the rear with Toyos there too!

 

Great drive and it feels a special place to be when you drive it.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. Nice one you have 5*. Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you. Great & best ride. Again 5*

Hey awesome ride!! Don't worry about what bitchnbobb posted. Just look at his page, the guy can't afford a new car (or a used for that matter) so he picks up old junk yard scrap and fixes them. Guy is just jealous. You're ride is sick! BTW, where did you get those rims from?
