Thanks for the heads up about the license plate mount, I thought of that when I was putting it back on. I ordered this through AutoAccesoriesGarage.com, it's a Colgan brand. Price and shipping was $134 compared to the $199 and higher prices for the same brand name on other smart sites. I discovered that the padded side hooks for the fenders are difficult at best to get a tight fit and used a pair of pliers to wrap them a little tighter around the front fenders. Just finally glad to add a little protection from all the small chips I've been picking up lately.

I have the same bra as well as the mirror covers. After removing it several times, the screws would no longer hold the license plate mount to the front bumper. I acquired two well nuts with 3/32nds threads from Home Depot. I drilled out the holes in the bumper to 5/16", slid in the well nuts and reattached the license plate mount. The well nuts have a brass threaded sleeve inside that expands the rubber outer surface to grip the hole when tightened. Hopefully, this will solve this concern. You do get a bit of debris behind the lower part of the bra that could scratch the finish. Also, when you wash the car, it would be difficult to dry behind the bra. I purchased mine from Smartmadness. Yours looks like the same item?

Have you seen the "Bonsai Benz" decals? One of my favorites. www.smartstickers.de is what I think the website is. PS. I've just added an "actual size" decal to mine. It gets lots of laffs;) Oh, and glowing stars and planets to the roof panel!

Has anyone modified his 451 with the Carlsson package? How do you find it? Personally I'm loving it, and that exhaust sound is marvelous.... Makes you wanna drive longer!;) Not to mention the 17s at the rear and 16s at the front that give it much…

It's a little tricky, but if you hunt around in the owner's manual it tells you how to do it.

Ride wise, 15 or 17 you are going to vibrate because its a suspension issue more than a wheel size issue. Handling wise, you do feel the differrence with the bigger and wider sizes, especially when manouevering at higher speeds.... Gas milage will n…

I'm interested in the same thing, I have a 2006 fourtwo Passion CDI, interested in a tach (have the clock) along with installation instructions. I have heard that an engine computer reset is required (technician's job) - is this the case? thanks!…
