The Appeal

The Smart ForTwo is of course known for its immensely compact dimensions and urban practicality, but this 2013 "DarkSide" conversion takes the diminutive city car in an entirely different direction. This extensively modified example transforms the humble Smart into an eye-catching statement piece with its satin matte grey finish, silver tridion safety cell, and dramatically enhanced stance.

With expanded wheel arches accommodating oversized wheels and tyres, suspension modifications, and a sportier exhaust note, this is a Smart that demands attention. Having received a clutch replacement and full service during the conversion process in 2023, it combines head-turning aesthetics with the practicality needed for daily use on shorter journeys.
