MikeT Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I washed the salt off mine.But in previous years I bought European fenders, wide wheels and tires from Eddy, factory cruise from Eddy and a few other things. Quote

MikeT Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Sorry I started this! I think Guinness was looking for actual modifications..... Quote
MightyMouseTech Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Sorry I started this! I think Guinness was looking for actual modifications.....In that case, I might replace my wiper refills this afternoon.. Quote
Francesco Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Over the weekend: "Leather" inside door pulls (Michalak). De Dion tube caps (RS-Parts). Silver mirror caps (Michalak). Will likely do the brakes (EBC Turbo Groove discs and Green Stuff pads) this coming weekend.Starting another small project, but will wait for the garage to warm up a bit to avoid snapping plastic.

Huronlad Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 My car is getting a few new parts over the next few days, as a M-B tech dropped it off a hoist. Quote
MightyMouseTech Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 My car is getting a few new parts over the next few days, as a M-B tech dropped it off a hoist.Holy Crap! OUCH!!! Hopefully just superficial damage. Quote
Huronlad Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Windshield, scratched panels, I have not seen the injuries for myself as of yet. Tomorrow I go to pick up a loaner and inspect the damage. Edited December 30, 2009 by Huronlad Quote

Guinness Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Sorry I started this! I think Guinness was looking for actual modifications.....Actually, it doesnt have to be mod work. That why I am surprised how this thread end up here.Just wanna see what people did with their smart car today: a wash, a drive, even a hug is ok =P Quote
Guinness Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) My car is getting a few new parts over the next few days, as a M-B tech dropped it off a hoist.OMG, that is so random. Lucky no one got hurt.. sorry about your smart though Edited December 31, 2009 by Guinness Quote
Huronlad Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 The tech was lifting it up when it fell off the back of the lift and then the front of the car came off, the tech was well out of the way. A 3 or 4 foot fall, I have no idea what kind of suspension damage might have been done. Quote
PrairieBoy Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Thats terrible,what they did to your car!! Falling off the lift, from three or four feet high could cause some SERIOUS damage to your smart.I think they should be buying you a BRAND NEW CAR!!!You should be getting Mercedes-Benz involved,and i mean WAY ABOVE the dealership level.

A 3 or 4 foot fall, I have no idea what kind of suspension damage might have been done. ...no words man, no words. That is horrific. Humans make mistakes, but when it's a big company like MB, yeah - they should totally roll out the carpet for you and make right.-Iain Quote
Huronlad Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 My car was at the body shop so I have not seen it. They tell me it survived the fall? I am mainly concerned about the suspension and engine mounting bolts, I don't expect too much else would be structurally compromised.I have an 09 as a loaner, it it just not the same as the 450, the crawl feature is the devil and the all-season tires are greatly lacking. It is nice having proper heat though. Quote
Benggolf Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) After driving Guinness' car with the Stage 2 Sprint Booster, I was sold on it. Bought one for myself yesterday and will install it shortly. Edited January 1, 2010 by Benggolf Quote
lebikerboy Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Changed the oil/filter, transmission fluid, and windshield wipers... Quote
The Rog Man Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 Haven't done a thing as my Sadie is parked for the winter.I do say hello to her every morning, but until the temp is constantly above zero and with pile of snow blocking her in melts she is hibernating for the winter.I do have a smart charger (no pun intended) hooked up and she is plugged in on a timer so she gets a trickle charge for 3 hours a day until spring.

Period. Think about all the problems it may have later down the road, and who is going to pay for it? I don't want to drive my car when all of a sudden the front / or the back, falls off~ Quote
Guinness Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 After driving Guinness' car with the Stage 2 Sprint Booster, I was sold on it. Bought one for myself yesterday and will install it shortly. I can finally have the bragging rights for having STAGE 2 "turbo" to my GTI friends (jk) Quote
