When you purchase a car, you are asked which features you want to configure your vehicle. Later, you may want to further modify the car with aesthetic tuning elements. One car that is perfect for these modifications is the Smart. You can find countless kits online, some even ready to be painted, allowing for even more customisation. Now, let’s see how to replace the side air intakes on your Fortwo. First, detach the part to be replaced from one side until it is free from its housing; just pull it towards you. The replacement part may be simply interchangeable or, as in this video, applied with adhesive. So, first clean the area and then gently position the part.
