How to fit the MDC armrest
MDC Filler Cap Cover Fitting

Mercedes Badges On A Smart
It's up to you if you want to fit Mercedes badges to your smart in the same way it's up to you if you want to masterbate in public. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should and in doing so, almost everyone will think you're a nob. I have heard plenty of excuses...
