new 451 have silver want yellow or blue

[Sarah]

not sure that anyone does this anymore but I have a 7ish month old brand new shape smart (451) and would love to swop its silver panels for either yellow or blue ones, based in the NW but would be willing to travel also not too sure how easy a panel swop is on these but I'm sure there'll be a howto somewhere and my husband is more than capable of lending a hand with swoping

Hi sarah, can't help you on the panels, but the guides are found here: http://www.fq101.co.uk/451panels.asp

There's a yellow 451 owner that comes to our meets.

She's based in Stoke, I'll mention this post as I don't know if she is a member here.

A swap from car to car is quite easy I would say, apart from the passenger door panel which is a bugger.

Have you found the silver paint/panels are easily damaged btw?

Re: new 451 have silver want yellow

tbh I havent driven my car very much, in the 7ish months I've had it I've only done around 4000 miles so haven't noticed any damage on the panels, although I might just pop out and have a look now.

Theres no marks on her as of yet, no stone chips on front, and arches seem clear, which are the usual places to get damaged

The car has only done 3500 miles not 4000
