Fit an aftermarket boost gauge to your smart!

Fit A Cycle Valve
The older, lower powered smarts had a mechanical boost controller instead of the electronic boost controller in the 61bhp models. Fitting this part is cheap and quite easy.

Where Can I Buy These Hoses? They are for sale on the SmartMods website. What Colours Can I Get? Clear smoked, Red, Green, Clear silver, Orange, Clear Blue, White, Pink, Yellow, Blue and Purple (although SmartMods don't always stock all of the colours). What Cars Do...

Personally I never thought the smart brakes were too bad but I have heard many complaints about their effectiveness. Changing the discs and pads go part way to sorting this problem out, changing the hoses can increase the feel and stopping power of the brakes.

So many people rant on about fitting these to the smart and how dangerous they are to pedestrians so I had to get some.

The worst thing about winter is that the roads get gritted. You are behind a gritting lorry and you can hear your car getting dashed with rock salt. The next problem is the grit and salt being kicked up and damaging your windscreen. If you leave a crack like this, it...
Fixing The Rear Panel Clips
Another great one from Shadow. I don't know about you but personally I find the rear panel clips a bit weak and snap all to easily. Yeah they are cheap but why not fix the ones you have for good.
