Fitting aftermarket paddles...

This is becoming an increasingly common mod among smart owners due to the low price of the metal replacements from Germany.

Here you can see just how different the paddles actually are, not only are they metal, they are lighter, thinner and bigger.

Note: these paddles can only be fitted to G2 cars, 2003 onwards, and will not fit any aftermarket kits.

The first thing that will spring to mind is how to remove the old ones, this is very simple.... Just pull them away from the centre of the steering wheel, shown below.

Once unclipped they just slide out of the frame.
