I am getting Smarter!

[Canadian Turbo]

Well I have had my car for getting near 2 weeks and I have made some observations about the little car and thought I would share them with you all!

-Do not get a Smart if you dont like getting attention. People come to talk to you all the time, driving, parked, at the gas station, everywhere and some even have a clue!
-Girls think your car is very cute!
-People in SUVs will laugh at you and they still cannot park next to you even when you give them half of your space to use
-You can actually still fill up a car for under $20s
-$3 does give you a good car wash
-You have a lot more room in your garage with a Smart
-40hp can feel quick
-You can fit 2 duffle bags and 5 grocerey bags in the back easily
-You can stall a Smart even with no clutch pedal
-And did I mention girls think your car is super cute

Well so far I really enjoy the little car and I am sure it will only get a better!

Those are sweet, I like his drop too. And that Orange is sweet, is that a factory colour? (I don't know why i'm a sucker for orange)

Hot. But how much could those wheels be? Aren't they 15", tops?

Re: I am getting Smarter!

I think the orange is custom paint but it could be a Euro colour, for sure not available here.

The wheels are actually 17" custom drilled and he wants over 3 grand for them with rubber with 100kms on them. Smart wheels are very expensive because they are so rare, even used stock 15s go for around a grand.

What bolt pattern and offset do Smart's have?

Re: I am getting Smarter!

I just noticed he has Euro fenders too (i'm starting to figure this smart modding thing out )

Pattern is 3x112 (only vehicle that has this) and I am not 100% sure on the offsets but they are I think around 20-30 or so front and 0-10 for the back, in fact I think you can even run -6 in the back for lots of lip!

Yeah Euro panels custom painted I believe. They euro panels do not have all the lights on the rear fenders and they have no or small front sidemarkers. Brabus rear fenders are like those but flair out even more!

Re: I am getting Smarter!

Wow, I never would have thought 17s would even fit on a Smart!

Yep and with some extra work you can even do 17x8.5
