Ha.....turn all the fancy lights on and 2miles down the road it's drained the batteries !
The interior is really good though, but full harness seat belts...and wings/fins...do me a favour !

Copying my post from YouTube:

Whatever you think of the car design, it's fantastic that someone is willing and able to go to these lengths to make a car their own.  Car modding is fairly common, but basically most people aim for the same results - more power, better handling, without doing much to make the car different to every other.

It's what the Smart brand is, and always has been, about after all.

I love the internet - all the people on YT have commented a couple of words.  And someone named "unnamed engineer" says simply "no".... surely an engineer should be most excited about such things.

The wings completely destroy all of the aesthetics of the vehicle. The rest, nice.

But don't breathe a word of it to Jeremy, or he'll scratch your eyes out sweetie   :-*

I love those, some of my favourite cars have those, the Cadillac Biarritz  for example. However, on such a tiny car, it just looks like the offspring of Sonic the Hedgehog and an albino chinchilla.
