MP3 leads

You must know someone who wants one for Christmas.

Updates happening

Remember, just because nothing is posted here, doesn't mean there is nothing new. Check what has been updated in the right hand column.

OK, here is something.

I felt a bit guilty that nothing new had been posted so I quickly cobbled together something. It's a mess but the info that is there is sound enough. I'll tidy it tomorrow. Fitting Roadster alloys on to a Fortwo.

Lack of newness

Really sorry for the lack of anything new, I certainly haven't run out of things to put on the site. A few things have been updated and I am waiting on bits to be delivered for further info. Oh plus I have just wasted the entire weekend playing Super Mario Galaxy. I...

Some simple stuff to tide you over.

Firstly, the Basics area of the site has been offline for a while but it is now back. Check out the non modification menu and click basics. How to change the interior courtesy lights on a fortwo and roadster. Numberplate lights change for the fortwo and roadster....

A bunch of new stuff

Converting your headlights for driving abroad. Only an update but my new grill looks so good I feel I have to share it with you. Remove scratches from your plastic headlight lenses. Fix a broken wing mirror adjuster one of three ways.

Old info updated with new stuff.

The headlight bulb change page now also covers the Roadster and the Crossblade. Battery removal now covers the Roadster. Headlight alignment now covers the Roadster and highlights a possible error to look out for.

Headlight Disassembly

Take your headlights apart. Not terribly interesting unless you are a slightly more hard core modder. Handy if your self levelling unit is shafted and you want to change it.

Poor Mr Smarticle in a crash.

I was in my first ever car crash yesterday and I didn't enjoy it one bit. To make it worse I was driving Kat's smart car at the time. The Mercedes A Class seemed to come off a lot better and could drive away. Not so with the poor smart as the radiator split. So I have...

MP3 leads and a warning

The MP3 lead page is changing, new products are coming, standard leads are going. Don't buy smart MP3 leads from Ebay that charge the Ipod as well, unless you want to buy a new Ipod that is.

Massive radio pinout guide update

The original Grundig pinout guide has been on the site since it first opened, It needed an update. Stereo pinout guide for most smart stereos including the new 451.

Whole lot of nothing been going on.

Sorry for the total lack of anything new. I have been feeling very lazy for a while now and a mental block for new ideas hasn't helped. Anyway, hopefully a bit of new info will get me back to normal. Keep an eye on the update list on the right as some new smart 451...

Update the headlights a bit

Remove the diffuser and spray the reflector. Sorry about the lack of updates, I really have lost momentum over the last fortnight. Most of the things remaining on my list of things to do are a bit boring.

Do NOT buy a smart 451 yet

Do yourself a favour and wait a year. If you jump on the bandwagon you will be ripped off. At the moment, smart are effectively saying "pick any number between 1 and 50 but you can only have 4, 8 or 12". Smart are limiting your options. No Diesel! The apparently...
