Re: Retro/classic modded smart cars

no! No! That's subtly modded!

No , 1 its a Roadster (notice the pattern) and 2 its an 04

Rumour has it that this year being the 10th year of production of the smart brand that the new modding is for retro/classic. 1998 to 2001

Interesting Plate Mr Holmes...... Those That "Should" Know Believe You Drive A ROADSTER, I Was Just Checking The Build Date!

S 2RBO has been on a 2002 Pulse, a 2003 Roadster and now resides on my lovely little 1998 Q car.

It's so mildly modded externally yet is my fave Smart.

Mechanical mods so far are:

Bilstein shocks all round and Bilstein springs rear
Roadster engine and turbo
Evil Twin Stealth twin exit exhaust
Evil Twin Air intake
Evil Twin Air filter
Evil Twin Remap
Evil Twin Spacers on the rear to fill the Brabus arches
Towbar for towng our show trailer now painted in matching orange.

As a kid I loved orange Smarties... I think it programmed my brain as I still love orange 'Smart' ies and wept when 5th gear wrecked 2 of them... how dare they...

Unfortunately the changeable weather conspired against me getting pics of my Smart as it now stands - will try again next weekend...

Re: Retro/classic modded smart cars

A few photos from my collection (I've added photographer names for those not taken by me) ...

April 2001 -


Photos taken 2002/2003 but most with mods dating to 2001 -

A16 DNP - Dave and Patsy's smart was one of the first heavily modified smarts in the UK, Denis Williams had a smart with a similar level of mods but it was written off in Feb 2001 on the way to a smart meet at smart Birmingham

I've got more photos of early modded smarts but I need to scan them.

Re: Retro/classic modded smart cars

Early cars look great with the original Brabus front spoiler. The MS design one looked good too.

this looks like a toy in this picture. i think it's the fact you can barely see anything round it that does it. looks very cool!

Sooo impressed at how bright that pink is! It has to be photoshopped.

Minty, nice pic of Oli's old fortwo - its a shame he doesnt lurk here too, he was one of the first people that influenced me modding my smart.

No those were the original camera files, it really was that bright.
